sony hxr-nx5u record issue
Posted by Michael Ledford on May 3, 2015 at 1:02 pmWhen I trigger the rear record button it gives me the prompt “Attach to external drive.” The zoom handle record works fine. How do I get the rear button to trigger normally?

May 6, 2015 at 8:22 pmThe manual is available here:
https://pro.sony.com/bbsccms/assets/files/micro/nxcam/manuals/FINAL_HXR-NX5U_Ops_Manual.pdf
Page 24 describes the function you desire. Looks like the default is for both buttons to have the same function: record on memory card and optional flash memory unit when the button is pressed. Options split these functions between buttons, and if you don’t have a flash memory unit attached I’m guessing it will display the error message you describe.
At risk for sounding rude, I must ask: do you have the manual for your camera? If not, you might want to download and/or print that PDF. Could come in handy. Took me less than a minute to find the answer to your issue.

Have a good weekend,
Clint
