Re: Sony MRC1k with Sony HVR-Z1u
If anyone has used this combo, does the record button on the Z1u Camera start & Stop the MRC recording.

Used to have a Z7 & S270 that used the MRC1 & you could either set it to record via the cam rec button or do it manually.

Posted the above at 08:16 but shows as 06:56 so is there a hiccup with Dr`s clock?

Barry, it's different with the Z1 since the MRC1K doesn't dock with the camera in the same way.
 
Mic, read the MRC1K manual! It explains exactly how to do it in there. If you don't have a physical copy then you can download it from the Sony website.

Re: Sony HVR-Z1u with Sony MRC1
Do you know that the camera and the MRC1K both work? Have you used them before successfully? Have you used them before successfully with this card?
 
What kind of Compact Flash card is it?

What's the capacity?

Have you tried using a different CF card in the MRC1K? If so, does that work?

Have you tried formatting the card in a computer  (It has to be formatted FAT32) and then tried it in the MRC1K?

Do you know that the MR1K works?
 
Has it ever worked for you with either of these cards?
 
Have you tried any other cards? What happens?

Mark, I'm wondering if he has a MR1K. He has a Z7 so may just be having a problem with the cam and CF cards.

I don't understand what you mean.
 
The only way to record to CF with the Z7 is by using the MRC1K  (sorry, that was my typo before, not MR1K) which is an external recorder which clips on to the back of the camera. Otherwise you can only record to tape.

yes, I've confused myself as well, think I'll leave you to deal with our friend and I'll keep off the beer in the evening
