Help with downloading files on FMU at DVinfo.net

Richard Harris · November 10th, 2010, 04:09 PM

Hi,
I am new to this forum and have a new Sony NX5U. I have the 128 GB FMU attached and have the camera set to record SD to the compact flash and HD to the FMU. When I use the Content Management Utility program that came with the camera all I can see are the video clips stored on the compact flash. The only way I have found to download the video clips off the FMU is to disconnect it from the camera and connect it to the computer using the USB cable directly. Any idea what I need to do to be able to access the video clips stored on the FMU WITHOUT disconnecting the FMU from the camera?
Thanks,
Richard Harris

That's the way the manual says to access files. You have to remove the FMU128 and connect by USB.

Thanks. I was really hoping you could access them at the same time as the CF cards. Oh well, I guess that feature,on next model.
