Drop Detection

This function turns off the power automatically to
prevent HDD damage when the camera is
accidentally dropped. This function is set to on
at time of shipment.
If the power is turned off due to the drop
detection function, set the power switch to OFF,
and turn the power on again.
To turn off this function
Set [DROP DETECTION] to [OFF]. The
indicator appears. (
CAUTION:
Setting this function to off increases the chances of
damaging the internal hard disk if the camera is
accidentally dropped.
NOTES:
● This function cannot protect the hard disk every
single time it is dropped.
● The
indicator is only displayed when this
function is set to [OFF]. For normal use, set this
function to [ON].
● If the drop detection function operates when the
camera has not been dropped, set the function to
[OFF] to continue use.
● If a drop is detected during shooting, the file being
shot when the camera was dropped may be saved
in the [EXTMOV] folder. (
