Preparing Recording Media
Checking the Available Recording Time
When the camcorder is in mode, the screen indicates which CF
card slot is in use and the available recording time (in minutes*) that
remains on each CF card. When the camcorder is in
mode, the
side panel indicates the available recording time.
On the [Media] status screen (0 179), you can check the available
recording time, total space and used space of each recording media, and
the available number of photos.
* The approximate available recording time is based on the current bit rate (0 51).
Recovering Data on the CF Card
An error may occur with data on the CF card in cases such as turning off
the camcorder while recording or removing the CF card while recording.
In such case, you may be able to recover the data on the CF card.
1 Insert the CF card with the data to be recovered into the
camcorder.
2 When the screen prompts you to recover the data, select [Yes]
and then press SET.
3 After a message appears indicating that the data has been
recovered, press SET.
NOTES
• This procedure will delete clips shorter than 10 seconds in length.
Additionally, up to 10 seconds will be deleted from the end of clips on
the CF card.
• In some cases, data may not be recovered, such as when the FAT32
file system is corrupted or the CF card is physically damaged.
• While you are recording, you can recover data on the CF card that is
not being recorded to.
