Checking The Remaining Recording Time; Restoring A Memory Card - Sony PXW-Z190 Operating Instructions Manual

Checking the remaining recording
time
While recording (or standing by to record), you
can check the remaining space for the memory
cards loaded in the card slots on the A/B slot
media status/remaining space display of the LCD/
viewfinder screen (page 12).
The remaining recording time is calculated from
the remaining capacity of the media in each slot
and the current video format (recording bit rate),
and is displayed in units of minutes.
Note
• A icon appears if the memory card is write-
protected.
Replacing a memory card
• If the available time on two cards in total
becomes less than 5 minutes, the warning
message "Media Near Full" is displayed, the
recording/tally lamp flashes, and a beep sound
is output to the headphones to warn you.
Replace with media that has free space.
• If you continue recording until the total
remaining time reaches zero, the message
changes to "Media Full," and recording stops.
Note
• Up to approximately 600 clips can be recorded on one
memory card.
If the number of recorded clips reaches the limit, an
indication that the maximum number of clips has been
reached is displayed.

Restoring a memory card

If for any reason an error should occur in a
memory card, the card must be restored before
use.
When you load a memory card that needs to be
restored, a message appears on the LCD/
viewfinder screen to ask whether you want to
restore it.
Restoring a card
Select Execute using the V/v/B/b button or
SEL/SET dial, and press the SET button or
SEL/SET dial.
A message and progress status (%) are displayed
while formatting is in progress, and the access
lamp is lit red.
When restoration ends, a completion message
appears.
If restoration fails
• Write protected memory cards and cards on
which memory errors have occurred cannot be
restored. A warning message appears for such
cards. Follow the instructions in the message
and unprotect the card or replace it with another
card.
• Memory cards on which memory errors have
occurred may become usable if they are
reformatted.
• In some cases, some clips can be restored while
others cannot. The restored clips can be played
normally.
• If the message "Could not Restore Some Clips"
keeps appearing after repeated attempts at
restoration, it may be possible to restore the
memory card with the following procedure.
1
Use the copy function (page 75) of the camcorder to
copy the required clips to another memory card.
2
Format the unusable memory card on the
camcorder.
3
Copy the required clips back to the newly formatted
memory card.
