OK, I tried connecting the two older Sony cams to the Panny via USB, but it wasn't having it. Each time I tried, something (I couldn't quite see what the little warning sign was) flashed in the front display.
What I did notice was that after that attempt, those 'trial' recordings I was so pleased to have achieved by connecting the newer Panny cam (records in AVCHD) via USB to the Panny recorders HDD? They have gone, disappeared completely ...the HDD is formatted!! It doesn't matter as far as it goes, because they were just 'will it work' trial runs anyway. However, I need to find out why it happened.
I had read that such things are possible, but of course it may be nothing to do with the try-out with the other two cams. I haven't yet absorbed the entire 98 pages of the new recorder manual, because my two remaining brain cells would have thrown themselves down, kicking and screaming, and sulked for days if I do it all in one go .
It may well be that you need to carry out pre/post procedures on the new Panny when recording things, otherwise the recordings will disappear after a while. Lots of reading to do
