How do I initialize my video camera

how do I initialize my video camera canon XH A1S. It says it doesn't recognize it but it worked the first time I tried it. I haven't changed anything. Could my firewire cord be bad?

Not necessarily.
As long as the Easy Setup and footage from the camera match you should not have to swap and change.

  • How do I connect two video cameras to my computer have them both show up on the desktop at the same time so I can see and capture both images using a screen capture program?

    Hello, 
    I am a teacher and want to make some videos to post online for my class.  I would like to have it set up so that I have a powerpoint presentation going, a video camera pointing at a piece of paper I can write on and another video camera pointing at me.  How do I do this?  I have seen several solutions but they seem to be for switching between videos whereas I want both video images to be on at the same time.
    Also, is there a screen capture program you would recommend?

    Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

  • How can I view a video camera plugged into the TV tuner card's S-Video socket

    HP Pavillion Elite HPE Series desktop. TV tuner card AVerMedia H752. Video camera connected to S-Video socket. Win7 64 bit OS. How can I view the camera output? Windows Media Center does not seem to provide a means.

    Hi,
    Sorry, I don't know what are you trying to do. The Tuner card is like a TV which allow you watching TV like normal TV on your computer. The S-Video is OUT only, plugging a video camera to it won't do anything good.
    Regards.

  • How awkward is using the video camera?

    Many folks relate that it is awkward to shoot video (due to positioning of the lens and buttons).
    So, really, how bad is it?
    Do you get over it fairly quickly, or is it 'perpetually awkward', like waring two left shoes?
    thanks,
    Darrin

    Here's my experiences during a recent vacation.
    My finger accidently crept into more than a few shots - very un-apple like design. It happened less frequently the more I used the video function. Something that you can adjust too but probably never eliminate completely.
    More than once I thought I had stopped video capture by pressing the center button only to find that I had taken a 35 minute movie of the inside of my pocket. I also missed some scenes I wanted because I was actually turning the camera off when I thought I was turning it back on. To be fair these occasions were all outdoors and I was wearing sunglasses which made it almost impossible to see the displayed controls. I didn't have the problem indoors but I have noticed a few other posts questioning the operation of the center button in video mode.
    - I was happy with the quality of most of the video with two exceptions
    1. outdoor scene with a very bright background at the top and the subject matter in shadows at the bottom. They came out very dark and hard to see unless the camera was only pointed at the shadow area - but this was hard to tell when shooting because the display screen washed out in the sunshine and I was again wearing sunglasses. Perhaps any camera would have problems under these conditions.
    2. there is no zoom lenses so if you can't get close to small subjects you won't be happy with the results.
    Overall I got what I expected, an upgrade from my first gen 1G nano, and a handy video camera that captured family memories I otherwise would have missed. I've never owned a video camera before and knew this wouldn't be a hi-def model. For me, as a "free" add-on to an iPod it was a "no brainer" as I don't shoot enough video to justify a dedicated unit. Your milage my vary.

  • Re: Satellite L - How to connect my digital video cam?

    I have a Canon digital video camera (bought in 2004). I have been using it to transfer movies onto my other Toshiba laptop, but there is no place to plug in on my new laptop. I did use a iEEE1394 but it doesn't work on this one.
    What alternative is there?
    Also on turning on the laptop I get a message saying TOSHIBA SERVICE STATION NOT WORKING and proceeds to solve it but nothing happens.
    Any suggestions pls.

    Hey,
    What notebook model you have it exactly? Some notebooks dont have firewire port but if your camera has USB port can use this port. As far as I know all notebooks have USB port
    > Also on turning on the laptop I get a message saying TOSHIBA SERVICE STATION NOT WORKING and proceeds to solve it but nothing happens.
    You should try to reinstall Service Station, I think this should work. Just download the newest version of Toshiba service station on official Toshiba website and install it:

    But dont forget to remove the old version first before you install the newest one. ;)

  • How do you hook up a fire wire video camera to the 13 inch aluminum macbook

    I have a 13 inch mac book with only USB, but a video camera that only has a fire wire output jack.
    How can I hook up the camera with fire wire out to the USB in on the new 13 inch MB?
    Is there an accessory I can buy that will do this? Link to the product?
    Thanks!

    There is no option/accessory to do this. You'll need to get a different camera, or use a computer with firewire.

  • How can I import an mp4 file from my video camera into my iPad ?

    I'm totally new to this iPad world.  I would like to import a file from my video camera to edit it in iMovies.  I tried adding the file through iTunes, and it appeared to transfer the file to my iPad, but I can't find any way to open the file, not even to play it.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The time should already be shown on the status bar, but you can't add the day and/or date to it - if you would like to have them then you coul leave feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    If you want to copy an attachment from an email then you can't do that directly from the Mail app. If the email is still on your provider's server then you should be able to read the email on your provider's site via a browser on your computer and save it from there directly on your computer. Otherwise you will need to copy the file from the Mail app to another app on your iPad via the 'open in' function. Do you have an app on your iPad that supports the type of file that you want to copy ? How you then copy the file to your computer will depend upon what the app that you copy it to supports - different apps have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via your wifi network, dropbox etc

    how do I import my video files from old iPhoto - in time machine - to new iPhoto?  Photoes came across, video said incompatible.
    i have moved from a mac pro to a mac mini,
    Mini now has mavericks and latest iLife stuff, I clicked import, was all good, then at end, no videos came across.
    Is Mavericks,/iPhoto having a compatibiltiy issue with some video formats....???
    Your help is appreciated gang.: )

    Please describe exactly what you did. In moving to a new machine no importing is involved. The best way is to simply connect the two computers together and drag the iPhoto library from the old one to the pictures folder go the new one and launch iPhoto
