Hi Sasa,
Sorry, I don’t know.
I have found the folks at sonysos@eu.sony.com helpful with these type of questions.
Best of luck,
Tom

Hi John – sure you’ve got this sorted by now, but in case anyone else has the same problem in future: it sounds like you have the “direct menu” selected. It allows you to dial in white-balance / shutter speed etc with the menu wheel. You can set direct menu “all” “part” or “off” in the “others” menu

Thanks for the post Harry, but it’s not an auto gain issue. And yup, tried that with the cards. Looks like we’ll just have to live with it. Cheers anyway

Thanks Robin, massively appreciated!
It seems to be working but it’s taking forever – an hour for a 3 minute clip. Any ideas on why that might be?

hey mate, i just got a 200 and posted about the same problem yesterday.

This is the solution from Robin Probyn:

“Not an editor but had the same issue come up when I started sending 50 Mbps files from PMW500.. everyone is used to the BPAV folders from XDCAM EX but on one could deal with the 50 Mbps files in FCP.
The L +T doesnt seem to work for UDF folders ..

Answer seems to be XDCAM browser.. set pref to FCP7.. see the clips in Explorer window.. select all. right click and import to FCP.. also read recently better to start XDCAM Browser from FCP.. otherwise its in standalone mode,not plugin mode..

Now with the PMW200 being used I guess alot more than the 500.. Im sure this problem will come up more with FCP .. ?”

Now just have work out how to fix the excruciatingly slow transfer speeds

Hi,
Would really appreciate a pointer here. I’m leaving to shoot a doc in Syria tomorrow. Just got a PMW200 and I can’t work out how to use the video I shoot with it. The log and transfer plug in for FCP 7 doesn’t work at 50mbps (though it’s fine for 35mbps).
Would be enormously gratefully if someone could point out a solution today (although I’ll have sporadic email access there, so even if it comes late it would still be brilliant).
Thanks,
Tom
