Checking The Available Recording Time On A Recording Media; Recovering Data On A Recording Media - Canon XF205 Instruction Manual

Checking the Available Recording Time on a Recording Media

In mode, the upper left of the screen will show the icon of the recording media that is in use and next to it
the approximate remaining recording time in minutes*. When the movie format (A 55) is set to MXF or
MXF+MP4, the CF card currently selected will be indicated by a Ð mark next to the CF card icon.
On the [Media] status screen (A 211), you can check the total space and used space of each recording media,
as well as the available recording time* and the available number of photos (SD card only).
* The approximate available recording time is based on the current bit rate (A 55).

Recovering Data on a Recording Media

Some actions, such as suddenly turning off the camcorder or removing the recording media while data is being
recorded, can cause data errors on the recording media. In such case, you may be able to recover the data if a
message indicating you that data (CF card) or a clip (SD card) needs recovering. The message appears when
you insert a corrupted CF card into the camcorder or when you try to play back a corrupted MP4 clip from the
[MP4] index screen.
Operating modes:
1 When the camcorder prompts you to recover the data, select [OK] and then press SET.
2 When the confirmation message appears, 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 the clips.
• In some cases, it may not be possible to recover the data. This is more likely when the file system is corrupted
or the recording media is physically damaged.
• While recording on a CF card, you can recover data from another CF card by inserting it into the other CF card
slot.
