I’ve had the camera for 2 years and have always been able to transfer the footage with firewire (via 1394 connection).
When I tried to do so this week it failed to show any connection on FCP. My diagnosis is that the firewire connection has malfunctioned. I can transfer the footage that is on the P2 card but can only do so via the USB connection. However I haven’t been able to transfer taped footage.
Does that help explain my problem? Thanks again for your support.
