I had the same problem on ex1 I sat there for about 2 hrs running long(20min) and short(3sec -2min) shots and deleting once in a while in camera mode, also re seat the card, it new, so conductivity may play, I tried all th above and its been working but ill do a bit more testing before I feel 100% but its on its way
Kingston 16gb class 4

I did just that after getting 2 error msg’s, Criag was talking in an earlry thread about doing long and short shots, I did that for a long time per card and each Hoodman adapter switching them at all diffrent time,even tried recording when the RED light was still on, and so far
(K O Wood) its been good,kingston 16GB CLASS 4

Any one know does this camera EX1 constantly record a few seconds so if you jump on it you have athe prior few sec, on card?not sure what they call that but it was asked of me by a client
Thanks

Hi David, I think your right about RED /green light(all me) I also did what Craig was talking about doing a long and short rec, and it seems to have helped.I see now it takes a little longer to right than the Sony’s
Im seeing an average of 7.5-8.5 sec,after stop rec, until green(digi stop watch)if your using class 6,which I never got to work having 1.1 firm,it kept saying “Media not recognized” you most likely have the newer firm, if you get a chance try clocking how long it take to wright,the Sony’s are about 4.5 just wondering if its as fast as the Sony
ALSO when you formate do you loose all clips? some times I do and some times not
Thanks for your input !!

HI David, what adapter are you using? I think Im going to try another brand adapter, and I did have a Kingston class 6 with the Hoodman and it cam up “media not recognized” we took the card out and put a 4 in and it saw it, I may try the class 2 i have no need to over/under for that I still have the Sony cards.

Im going to test when I get back.
Just trying to figure out is it the card or adapter?
Thanks for all the input and patience

Craig when you say “One should get no media error. If that happens on the long record, the card is not reliable” you mean it should have NO media error on the card on the long record and then its good right? (sorry just want to make sure im understanding this correctly)

Also when I tried class 6 it came up as media not recognized,class 4 worked but with error coming in to play

One thing I noticed is when I got the restore media msg and I restored media in CAMERA mode it deleted all the clips but in MEDIA mode it saved them
So I will stay with the HOODMAN and try to get Sandisk ultra 2 cards class 4

again BIG thanks for your time

Craig, Ive been reading some past post’s about this, you seem to be very informed and have done some good testing, with my current 1.1 firm ware what adapter and cards would you recommend , I have tried class 6 and media not recognized,class 4 worked but gets me that error msg, I tried a long record after i got a few error msg’s and now it seems to not be as frequent but I want something more reliable,
What adapters and cards are you feeling good about or using.
Thanks for all your input
Phill
(by the way what firm ware are you on)

[Phillip Ebeid]

no what would you say is a reliable test and what card if any works better?
also Im starting wo think this Hoodman converter is not as good as the Kingston’s ?
Thanks
Phill
