Sony nxcam hxr nx5u shutts off on its own

[Eric Pensenstadler]

The first thing is to know, understand, and work within the limitations of the equipment you’re using.

HD cameras need a lot more light than normal to produce clear sharp images.

Your gain settings play a very important role as well. It is my understanding that in Sony cameras, particularly the NX series, 0db is not really 0. 0db will be noiser (or more grainy) than actual “no gain”. Keep the camera in -3 or -6db and adjust your lighting accordinly.

Hope that helps.
