Would like to use my Sony TRV87 as a capture camera on my computer. Camera shuts itself off every 5 minutes. Any way to disable that besides putting a tape in and letting it run?
Try attaching the AC adapter. Also, go into the menu settings, and make sure that the auto power off setting is turned off.
The cameras capacity to capture motion pictures is disimpressionful. Usually cameras have feature functionalities either as still picture shoot or motion video recorder devices. Cameras may have any once of the mentioned features or both as complementary for videographic requriements. Inspecte the camera for capacity to capture motion picturee. Usually, the lense capacity with pixel capacities are indication of extensive capabilities. An impressionful camera producign disintergral result requries adjusting the lense or pixles buttons prior to photo shut. Also, cameras that least have the pixel capacity requires photo shoots at still motion or at calm climate least onbracting activities. Capture pictures at areas that least have movement caused by human interfernce or windy or suny blurs. Also, capture pictures maybe retored of blurry filming from computer photo video editor programs. Capture the picture or videos to be loaaded on to a computer that allows editting to achieve desired interfaces.

Using AC power. Where is the Auto Power Off? There is no mention of it in the manual nor can I find a menu option for it? That really is the question.
Using the AC Adaptor. Can't find any mention of an Auto Power Off setting either in the manual or in the menus.
This is what I got from Sony: "We are really sorry, but if you leave the camcorder in the standby mode for 5 minutes while the cassette is inserted, the camcorder will automatically turn off. This is to save battery power and to prevent battery and tape wear. This is normal operation."
Ah Hah! I says to myself. " ...while the cassette is inserted..." interesting. Sure enough, take out the cassette, no camera shutoff! Brilliant!
Thanks to dglenn1! I had exactly the same issue and could not find any Auto Power setting. Thanks.
