The available time for recording with the current
video format (recording bit rate) is calculated
according to the remaining space of each card and
displayed in time units of minutes.
The remaining can also be checked in a meter
format on the BATTERY/MEDIA status screen
(page 92).
Note
A
icon appears if the memory card is write-
protected.
Replacing an SxS memory card
• If the available time on two cards in total
becomes less than 5 minutes, a message “Media
Near Full,” flashing of the tally lamps, and a
beep sound will warn you. Replace the cards
with those with sufficient space.
• If you continue recording until the total
remaining time reaches zero, the message
changes to “Media Full,” and recording stops.
Note
Approximately 600 clips can be recorded on one
SxS memory card at maximum.
If the number of recorded clips reaches the limit,
the remaining time indication becomes “0,” and
the message “Media Full” is displayed.
Restoring an SxS Memory Card
If an error occurs with data in a memory card for
some reason, the card must be restored.
If an SxS memory card that needs to be restored
is loaded, a message that prompts you to execute
a restore operation is displayed on the LCD
monitor/EVF screen.
To restore a card
Select “Execute” by turning the jog dial or
tilting the joystick then push the dial or
joystick.
The restore operation begins.
During restoration, the in-progress message and
status bar (%) are displayed, and the ACCESS
lamp is lit in red.
When restoration is completed, the completion
message is displayed for three seconds.
If restoration fails
• A write-protected SxS memory card or one on
which an error occurred cannot be restored. For
such a card, a warning message is displayed.
Release the write protection or replace the card,
as per the instructions in the message.
• An SxS memory card on which an error
occurred may become usable again through
repeated formatting.
• In some cases, only parts of clips cannot be
restored. Playback of the restored clips becomes
possible again.
• The following operation may restore an SxS
memory card for which the message “Could not
Restore Some Clips” is repeatedly displayed
each time you try the restoration process:
1
Copy necessary clips to another SxS memory
card, using the copy function (page 85) of the
camcorder or the XDCAM EX Clip
Browsing Software (page 113).
2
Format the problem SxS memory card, using
the format function of this camcorder.
3
Return the necessary clips to the SxS
memory card by copy operation.
Recording/playback during restoration
You can perform recording or playback using the
SxS memory card in the other card slot while
restoration is in progress.
