Can't do a direct link so you gotta follow these steps:

Go to the Sony IQ Reference Library at http://www.iq.sony.com/srvs/sosdocs/default.asp?src=sonysupport

In the "enter model number" field, submit the term: HDR-FX1

Returns a link to the PDF manual. I couldn't do a "save target as" but after opening the link I could save a copy locally.

Enjoy,

Right click and 'save target as...'

Yup, it works.


Thanks Chris.

VCT-FXA Shoulder Support documentation now available:

Go to the Sony IQ Reference Library (http://www.iq.sony.com/srvs/sosdocs/default.asp?src=sonysupport).

Enter "HDRFX1" in the model number field.

Choose "VCTFXA (shoulder brace) Instructions" from the results; it's a 0.78 megabyte Adobe Acrobat .PDF file.

John, I've looked all over that page and can't find a Z1 operator's manual anywhere. Plenty of camcorder information and the standard HDV brochures in PDF format, but I'm not seeing a PDF for the Z1 manual.

Gosh,

If you click the support menu item on the left of that page a search engine displays asking for model info etc- I have downloaded all the manuals from PD170 through 570 to F900H (always be prepared!) theres also a shed load of bulletins etc there too!

but yes the Z1 is not there at the moment, but rest assured - as soon as it becomes available that's where it will be

PS downloading will require you to register (at no cost)

I found the manual linked to from Sony's Broadcast and Business HDV site:
http://bssc.sel.sony.com/BroadcastandBusiness/minisites/HDV/products.shtml

Or you can grab it directly.

Go here: https://servicesplus.us.sony.biz/sony-parts.aspx

and enter "hvrz1u" in the parts finder search box. Then follow the links, it should be there somewhere but I don't have the patience to look through all 71 pages of parts :-)

Shooters & Users!

I would like to give to the Forum the SONY Z1 (P) series SERVICE Manual (Users Manual included.)
pdf, (28.8mb) and completely FREE!

My Z1P just performed a 'dead camera' operation (completely died, no batt indicator, no whirr, nada, and I'd hoped that the Service Manual would offer me the wise advice I crave. Still lurching my way through it. No joy as yet, but...you may as well have it too.

I promise, ABSOLUTELY no spam, no follow ups, no IP sniffing, nothing, (a cold beer next time I'm in town would be very welcome though.)
A genuine 100% Spandex sparkly-pants gift to my fellows in film/video.

Write to treefrogvideo@yahoo.com.au

Cheers.

If you don't believe me, write anyway.

It's difficult to find the Z1 manual online anywhere now. Anyone know where to find it?

Yep I found it... page 3 of Google:
