Re: Sony nxcam hxr nx5u shutts off on its own

Hey, just wanted to add a post here regarding the NX5U shutting off. It just happened to me again. I do use class 10 cards and haven't had this problem in months, but the other day I was shooting an interview and at the end when I pressed the record button to stop recording the screen went blank and then it said "retrieving data" and then "cannot retrieve data" (or something to that effect). The footage I just shot was not on the memory card even after attempting the repair image option, however, it WAS still on the external flash memory unit no problem. So.... I HIGHLY recommend the flash unit even though the chances are losing footage is minimal, when it does happen you will be so glad you have the flash unit.

Hope it helps,
Eric
