• The AJ-P2C002SG (2 GB) card cannot be used.
• The displayed available space includes the management area, and so the space available for recording is
smaller than this.
• Concerning the division of clips recorded on P2 cards
When using a P2 card of at least 8 GB in this camera, if the continuous recording time for a single
session exceeds the time shown in the following table, recording will be automatically resumed as a
different clip. When performing a thumbnail operation (display, delete, restore, copy, etc.) on clips using
P2 cards, you can operate them as a single clip. When you are using non-linear editing software and a
PC, for example, the clips are displayed individually.
