Hi Team, thank goodness I found this site!
As a complete newbie and proud new XLS1 owner I of course have a question / problem :-)
I have studied the manual, searched all the menus and features
I have thoroughly searched the forums on this and tried some of the fixes suggested but without results.
Problem: I cannot get my laptop to recognize my XLS1 camera and therefore cannot transfer any of my footage to my laptop for editing.
The facts:
1- I have a HP Laptop running Windows XP Service Pack 3
2- My computer has a Firewire Port (mini) and the Device Manager shows the IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Host Controller is working properly
3- Device Manager shows the only Imaging Devices installed is the integrated webcam
4- I have Adobe Premiere 6.0, DV Capture and WinDV programs that only recognize my integrated webcam as a video source
5- I set the camera to VCR setting and play the tape
6- When plugged into each other the camera shows “DV IN” in the view finder (this disappears / reappears immediately as I plug / unplug the cable) (so the camera knows it's plugged into something) (I assume it should read "DV OUT" instead)
7- I am able to output the Audio & Video to my TV via the S-Video and RCA cables
8- The Camera manual is extremely vague on how to do this!!
9- I have never used a firewire device on my computer
10- I have tried to link the camera on 2 friends laptops (both PC's) without success
If you need anymore info to diagnose my issue jsut let me know and I'll get it ASAP
Please help me turn a paperweight into a wonderful creative tool.
