Sony Ultra Wide Converter For SEL16F28 and SEL20F28 - Manual (Page 27)

2. Preparation: Using XQD Memory Cards 27
Checking the Remaining
Recording Time
When shooting (recording/standby), you can
monitor the remaining capacity of the XQD
memory card in each slot using the slot A/B
remaining media indicators in the viewfinder
(page 10).
The remaining recording time is calculated
from the remaining capacity of the media
in each slot and the current video format
(recording bit rate), and is displayed in units of
minutes.
XQD memory card replacement timing
ˎ ˎ When the total remaining recording time on
the two memory cards becomes less than
5 minutes, the message “Media Near Full”
appears, the recording/tally lamp starts
flashing, and a beep sound (headphone
output) will warn you.
Replace with media that has free space.
ˎ ˎ If you continue recording until the total
remaining recording time reaches zero,
the message changes to “Media Full” and
recording stops.
[Note]
Up to approximately 600 clips can be recorded on one
XQD memory card.
If the number of recorded clips reaches the limit, the
remaining recording time indicator becomes “0” and a
message is displayed.
Restoring XQD Memory Cards
If for any reason an error should occur in
a memory card, the card must be restored
before use.
When you load an XQD memory card that
needs to be restored, a message appears on
the viewfinder screen to ask whether you want
to restore it.
Restoring a card
Use the arrow buttons (page 7) or the
multi-function dial (page 4) to select
Execute, then press the SET button or multi-
function dial.
A message and progress status (%) are
displayed while formatting is in progress, and
the access indicator is lit red.
When restoration ends, a completion message
appears.
If restoration fails
ˎ ˎ XQD memory cards on which memory
errors have occurred cannot be restored. A
warning message is displayed. Follow the
instructions to replace the XQD memory
card.
ˎ ˎ XQD memory cards on which memory errors
have occurred may become usable if they
are reformatted.
ˎ ˎ In some cases, some clips can be restored
while others cannot. The restored clips can
be played normally.
ˎ ˎ If the message “Could not Restore Some
Clips” keeps appearing after repeated
attempts at restoration, it may be possible
to restore the XQD memory card with the
following procedure.
1 Copy the required clips to another XQD
memory card using Copy Clip (page 97)
in the Thumbnail menu.
2 Format the unusable XQD memory card
on the camcorder.
3 Copy the required clips back to the newly
formatted XQD memory card.
