Customer Question

I have a Sony CCD-FX520 8mm video camera. I want to transfer old tapes to my computer but they only show up as black and white (no color). Is that something that can be fixed on the camera?

Hello and welcome. I suspect you record this on the computer with a video capture card or some sort of USB video capture device? The first thing is to play it connected to a TV to be sure the camera output correctly in color.

If it is correct on TV, then you may have a PAL/NTSC setting on the video capture equipment. If it's a camera you bought in the US, the video capture need to be made into NTSC.
