Best approach for these camera problems?

[Paul Gregory]

I still have the the USB cable that came with camera. One end goes into side of camera just above the HDMI port. The other end of this cable is USB female. To plug into PC you need a USB male plug. I have several of these cords that are m/m. I have tried them all to no avail.

I have a friend that has the same camera & he can’t get either my or his camera to his PC. I have now tried the small utility for connecting but nothing happens.

Could I use the HDMI port to connect & transfer to the PC or failing this I might be able to record directly onto the timeline using Vegas?

One thing is for certain that this isn’t just an isolated incident, as evidenced by lots of other asking same/similar connection problems on the web & Sony’s response is mainly try this or that or that etc etc. I can’t even take the camera into a Sony shop here in town as they have all closed. Last month while in Singapore,before I had problem I went into their big new store where the staff that I talked to were unaware that Sony even made software.

Thanks in advance
