Checking The Remaining Recording Time On Recording Media; Recovering Clips - Canon EOS C700 Instruction Manual

Checking the Remaining Recording Time on Recording Media

The recording media icons and the approximate remaining recording time* (in minutes) on each card are
displayed on the HOME screen and at the bottom left of the monitoring screen. Additionally, on the
[MEDIA] screen (A 200), you can check the total space, used space, and remaining recording time* on each
recording media.
* The approximate available recording time is based on the current bit rate (A 65).

Recovering Clips

Some actions, such as suddenly turning off the camera or removing the recording media while data is being
recorded, can cause data errors in the recorded XF-AVC or ProRes clip. If an error message appears in the
[LIVE] screen indicating that clips need recovering, you may be able to recover XF-AVC clips with data
errors with the following procedure.
1 Press the PLAY button and select the recording media that contains the clip that needs to be
recovered (A 142).
• Select [CFast (XF-AVC)], [CFast (ProRes)] or [SD Card (XF-AVC)] as the playback media/format. In the case
of a CFast card, select the correct CFast card slot.
2 Press [CLIP LIST] to open the list of clips.
3 Turn the SELECT dial to find the clip that needs to be recovered and then press SET.
• The message [Clip requires data recovery] appears instead of the clip details.
4 Open the recovery screen.
[OPTIONS] > [Recover Clip]
5 Press both [RECOVER] buttons simultaneously.
• The camera will attempt to recover the corrupted data.
NOTES
• This procedure may delete XF-AVC clips shorter than 0.5 seconds in length. Additionally, up to 0.5 seconds
may be deleted from the end of XF-AVC 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.
• Only clips recorded with this camera can be recovered. Photos cannot be recovered.
