The F3 records XDcam to sxs cards?

I believe you need Sony XDCam Transfer 2.12 available here:

https://www.servicesplus.sel.sony.com/sony-software-model-PDZKP1.aspx

Once you install it, in FCP you go to the File > Import menu and choose XDcam. It will launch XDCam transfer and will put the clips in your project.
