2. Preparation: Handling AXS Memory Cards
Checking the Remaining
Recording Time
While shooting (recording or standby), you
can check the remaining capacity on the AXS
memory cards loaded in each slot using the
recording media remaining capacity indicator
on the Home screen of the sub display
(page 36) or the viewfinder/monitor screen
(page 14).
The available time for recording with the
current video format (recording bit rate) is
calculated according to the remaining space
on each card and displayed in time units of
minutes.
[Note]
A (protect) icon appears if a memory card is write-
protected.
Exchanging an AXS memory card
• If the total remaining time on the inserted
memory cards during recording becomes
less than the time set using Technical
> Alerts & Tally > Media Near Full Alarm
(page 89) in the full menu, the remaining
media capacity indicator flashes, the REC
lamp flashes, and a beep sound is emitted
to warn you. Replace the cards with those
that have sufficient space.
• If you continue recording, the message
"Media Full" appears, and recording stops
when the total remaining recording time
falls to 0.
[Notes]
• The maximum number of clips that can be recorded
on a single AXS memory card is given below.
S24/S48: Approximately 600
S66: Approximately 430 to 440
• The display of remaining recording time changes to
"0" and the message "Media Full" appears when the
clip limit is reached.
Restoring an AXS Memory Card
If for any reason an error should occur in
a memory card, the card must be restored
before use.
If an AXS memory card that needs to be
restored is loaded, a message prompting you
to execute the restore operation is displayed
on the sub display.
To start the restore process, select Run by
turning the MENU dial, then press the MENU
dial.
The restoration starts.
During execution, a message is displayed and
the ACCESS lamp lights in red.
When restoration ends, a completion message
appears. Press the MENU dial to dismiss the
message.
If restoration fails
• A write-protected AXS 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 AXS card,
according to the instructions in the
message.
• An AXS memory card on which an error
occurred may become usable again when
reformatted.
• In some cases, some clips can be restored
while others cannot. Playback of the
restored clips becomes possible again.
