View Full Version : Footage playback on XH A1 question. Is this normal?


Howard2
Hello folks,
When I playback my HDV footage on XH A1 and I need forward or rewind, there is a slight delay before the camera reacts. When I playback the footage, it's OK. Than, while playing, I press and hold forward button, it takes a while for the camcorder to start forwarding. I hold the button to forward to the desired frame, release the forward button and it takes forever for camera to hit that propriate frame from which to continue to plaback. The delay is even longer when I rewind. With my old Sony PD 150, when camcorder was playing the footage and I pressed and hold forward or rewind button, the response was instant, after releasing the button. Is this normal?
Thanks for your input.

If it can help you, I also have a Canon XH-A1 and I'm experiencing the same kind of sluggish reactions you're describing during playback. I guess the camera is built like that.
