ockers 0 #1 January 16, 2006 Out of the helmet, if I turn it off manually, ie the switch next to the record button, the camera shuts down but the green camera light flashes intermittently. In the helmet, if I switch it off with the cam eye II, it shuts down normally then automatically turns itself on again!! Has anyone experienced this or have any idea why this is happening. The camera is about 18 months old Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #2 January 16, 2006 Sounds like an issue with your CamEye. BTW, you can ALWAYS turn off the camera out of your helmet by removing the battery.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ockers 0 #3 January 16, 2006 Thanks for the reply, even with the CamEye disconnected, (Camera out of helmet), it won't shut down. Taking the battery out was the only way I could strop the green camera light from flashing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #5 January 20, 2006 On most Sony cameras there is a wee reset switch, its a pin hole sized hole that you poke a bent paperclip or similar into. Try that. I 'm not that familiar with the HC cams but its got to be worth a dibble....-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

linestretch 0 #6 January 21, 2006 a buddy has the same issue. Now it's just a piece of shit camera that has to be always plugged in. I guess Sony fixed it on the following models. That's all I know.my pics & stuff! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ockers 0 #7 January 23, 2006 Thanks, I'll give that a go. Its a bit of a PITA having to click the battery in when the 3 min light goes on!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airborne82nd 0 #8 January 23, 2006 do this take the battery off and hold the pin hole reset switch for over one minute and then power it back up also try a new battery i have 3 hc 40 and one of them gets very funny about batteries it powers on and then off its stupid but i can only use a few batteris with it and the official sony batteries dont work i have to get the other batteries the third party or so get a few off ebay i am telling you these cams are light but can be a pain in the butt sony needs to have a firmware update package to update all theier issues that are with these cams.
