Saving Footage from damaged SD card Via USB?
Fortunately I can get the AG DVX-200 to read and display the clips I recorded in the camera thumbnails, but a card reader won’t recognize the card, I need to save these clips by somehow using the camera to output the clips to my iMac (modern, and up to date) …..Are there any AG-DVX-200 gurus there that can guide me? I borrowed the cam for a shoot and did not realize that one of the cards was damaged. And, I can’t find any quick search info about hooking this thing up to use as a USB device…..I know it’s possible, but only with some good input from the “Cow” people!
Please help if you can, I would be eternally grateful!
All the best!

Hi Stuart
I found this user manual
https://resource.holdan.co.uk/Panasonic/specs/Panasonic_AG-DVX200_handbook.pdf
The info you need is on page 60

Hello all, I managed to save the footage by using USB Host. I knew the camera could output files to a USB stick, but you have to format the USB drive to exFAT and then stick it into the cameras USB slot…..Then, go to the main menu on the camera and find USB Host/Device and set it to USB Host, and while in the menu system, press the red record button to activate the transfer connection to the USB stick and pick the appropriate option of transfer….In this case I chose slot 2 to disc…which had a rather weird looking icon but it seemed like the best option.
There are no directions I could find in the owners manual that explains this process, that is why I reached out for help, but I got it figured out now, and thanks for taking a look at this post!

Thanks for the reply Peter! I used the Host method to get things fixed, as I couldn’t find the specifics of the Device method you suggest, but it’s great to know this now and have access to the user guide manual you sent as a link.
All the best!
