PXW Z190 will not recognize card.

Unless you have setup the camera with passwords, IP protocols, etc. for streaming it doesn't really matter which one you choose. Sony just gives users the option of preserving all those streaming settings because they can be a bitch to setup again. In your case, you should probably reset the whole camera just to start with a totally clean slate. BTW, even your memory cards and everything else seemed to work fine when you bought the camera, you should always do a full reset anytime you buy a used camera. And then create a camera profile after you program your custom settings and then use that file anytime anyone else uses your camera or anytime you feel the camera is acting wonky.

Thank you Doug, for all that advice, thats all good to know.

Anthony, any luck with the reset?

Hi Doug, sorry for not getting back sooner, running to the hospital took up a bit of time, thankfully nothing serious in that department but yes, wether it was the camera reset or the correct card but thank goodness the camera can see this prograde digital card :) I haven't had much time to test out the camera just yet, my main concern was trying to get the camera to record :) once I inserted the card into the slot I had a good idea it might work this time, I formatted the card in camera and was glad to se the recording light.

Thanks everyone for all your help, I'll keep you posted :)

I know this is not the place for this question but I want to view the Z190 thumbnails clips on my PC,
What software will allow this?

I use Content Browser to view my SXS card clips but it won't let me see the Z190 clips as thumbnails.

Thanks in advance.

Content Browser is several years out of date. You need to download another free program from Sony called Catalyst Browse. https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/catalystbrowse
