XH A1 "In Card Position" Message

Hello Brendagerardo,

The XHG1 is a miniDV tape based camcorder.  There isn't an option to record movies to an SD card.  This is why the camcorder is telling you it's in card position and not able to record.  Switch to tape mode in order to record movies.

I connected the Component cable and audio to a Component to HDMI converter.  Then I took the output of that and connected it to an HDMI to USB capture device.  Using an OTG (USB A to USB C) adapter, I plugged that into my Android mobile phone and using a USB Camera App I was able to record the output of the camera to my cell phone. Then transfer the file to my desktop for editing.  You can also plug the USB capture device into a laptop (or desktop)  if you wish.  Hope that helps

Greetings,

That sounds like a lot of work.  Canon has some great camcorders that will record straight to an SD card. The image quality would be greatly improved also.  Each conversion or transfer looses one generation of quality.
