NOTE
t Do not erase a folder or file on the memory card with a computer. It may make it impossible to load on the camera.
t If data is recorded to the memory card with a computer, an error may occur such as an inability to recognize or record to the memory card with the
camera.
t The memory card to use with the camera should always be formatted on the camera.
t The number of the P2 format clips that can be recorded on a single memory card is approximately 1000.
Data will not be able to record when it reaches the maximum number of data that can be recorded.
t When transferring a recording data in a P2 format to a computer, or when writing back to a microP2 card, be sure to use the dedicated software "P2
Viewer Plus" to prevent data loss. For details on downloading P2 Viewer Plus and the operating environment, visit the support desk at the following
website:

t Follow the instructions below when using a general IT tool such as the OS standard file manager equipped on a computer to transfer a recording data
in P2 format to a computer. However, be sure to use P2 Viewer Plus when returning data back to a microP2 card.
- Perform the transfer for each CONTENTS folder and LASTCLIP.TXT file.
- Do not operate the folders under the CONTENTS folder.
- When copying, copy the LASTCLIP.TXT file at the same time as the CONTENTS folder.
- When transferring the data in multiple microP2 cards to a computer, create a folder for each memory card to prevent clips with the same name from
being overwritten.
- Do not delete data inside a memory card.
- Be sure to format the memory card with a P2 device or P2 Viewer Plus.
