Compact Flash question at DVinfo.net

Jim Forrest · February 14th, 2010, 11:40 AM

I have my S270 camera record format at 1080i HDV and when I record to tape I get 1440x1080 video, however with the same setting and I record to Compact Flash I get 720x480 video.
Am I missing a setting somewhere on the Compact flash settings?

In the i-link set menu, set HDV-DV conversion to OFF.

That's what I thought but under the I link menu I have Auto- HDV- and DV and the HDV is grayed out and I can not execute the HDV setting.
The camera setting is at 1080i 60.

It shouldn't be grayed out. Can you posibly reset the camera and try again? Must have some other settings that you have made, making it grayed out.

I found that I have to go into the VCR mode and then use my menu setting and set the in/out rec to VCR HDV/DV---HDV. After that it was no longer grayed out.
