Re: FCP can't see Z1

Test the camera and the firewire cable (at least two different cables) on another computer. If the other computer still cannot recognize the camera, then there is probably issue with the firewire port on the camera (i.e. dead).

I rented a Z1 and had the same problem on two different machines, two different platforms (TIger and Windows XP) and two different software pkgs (FCS3 and Adobe Premiere 2.0) The firewire port was bad and the video production company told me that happens alot when novice users plug/unplug the firewire cable while the unit is powered on (there is enough of a power surge in the line to short out the connection). When I swapped out the Z1 for a HVR-1500, all worked perfectly.

Good luck!
