just received a new 520 res helmet cam. i can get it to record to the memory card but not to tape. ive looked all through the manual but cant find anything on how to do it. am i missing something simple? can i even go to tape? when i played it back on the tv it also was only a half screen, but playing the tape back it is always a full screen. thanks for youre help

See page 94 or your manual (recording pictures from a VCR or TV).

He never even mentioned which camera he had Marc! You must be psychic! lol

edit: just seen the word Sony in the signature. Possibly this was a clue?
