  • HPX300 Firmware Update SD Card Problems

    Posted by Chance Norris on November 19, 2010 at 12:42 pm

    I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Im trying to set-up my HPX300 correctly. The picture looks okay on LCD ,but horrible after bringing footage into Avid Media Composer or Adobe Premiere.

    I have never performed the firmware update and tried last night.
    I formatted a 8 gig SDHC card in the camera. Now when I plug SD card into computer it does not show up so I can’t load firmware.

    The card is good and was working in a GOPROHD camera before formatting in the HPX300.

    I tried serveral of my computer systems Vista 64 bit is loaded on all my computers. I also test on my Mac Pro still would not read disk.

    Any suggestions?

    I even tried on my girlfriends computer which is vista 32 bit.

    I think the Reader is not SDHC compliant. Im going to test in another reader.

    Will this firmware update fix the problem or is it going to require a test charts.

    I setup back focus with a Putora Sharpness Indicator the night before but the picture still looks soft!

    I’m about to buy a DSC lab Frontbox 12-4 chip chart with 11 step greyscale. I guess i’m headed in the right direction.

    Any suggestions would be helpful
