Handling of Discs When Recording
Does Not End Normally (Salvage
Functions)
Recording processing does not end normally if, for
example, the POWER switch on the rear panel is turned off
during recording, or if the power cord is disconnected
during recording. Because the file system is not updated,
video and audio data recorded in real time is not
recognized as files and clip contents recorded up to that
point are lost.
However, this unit has salvage functions which can hold
losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such
discs.
There is a quick salvage function which executes
automatically and a full salvage function which you can
execute as required.
Quick salvage: Clips are reconstructed on the basis of
backup data stored in nonvolatile memory and
markers recorded on the disc. Processing time is about
5 seconds.
Quick salvage executes automatically if the unit is
powered on with a disc still loaded after recording
was interrupted by power off.
Note
