NOTE
t The USB 2.0 cable is not supplied with the camera. Prepare a commercially available USB 2.0 cable (double-shielded for noise suppression).
t In USB host mode, a P2 card can be played back. Camera image and external input cannot be recorded.
Clips written to the hard disk drive cannot be played back on the camera.
t A storage device cannot be connected to the <USB2.0> terminal (sub-host) (page 21).
t While connecting a storage device, use the fully charged battery or connect an external DC power supply to the camera to avoid problems in copying
or formatting operations.
t The <USB2.0> terminal also supports USB bus power (5 V, 0.5 A). However, there are certain devices that cannot run depending on the storage
device used. In such cases, add a separate power supply to the storage device.
t Some storage devices may not function properly depending on the storage device and cable used.
t Do not connect multiple storage devices using a hub even if the storage devices are turned off. Do not connect other devices together with your
storage device using a hub.
t During a format or copy operation, do not unplug the cable, eject the target P2 card, or turn off the camera or the storage device. Rebooting the
camera and the storage device is required.
t A storage device with the SATA (Serial ATA) or PATA (Parallel ATA) interface connected using a USB conversion cable may not be recognized.
t Do not connect or disconnect the cable during playback on the camera. Playback may not be performed properly.
