Replying to HELP

Okay, not to sound like a complete n00000b, and I've been using Final Cut for about 3 years now, but I'm shooting with a new camera and EVERY time I begin importing, about 3 - 10 minutes in I get a message "dropped frames were detected during the last capture attempt" and I then have to go into the capture scratch and pull everything out manually.

Has anyone else had to deal with this? It is probably the most frustrating thing ever. If you have, please help.
