• This camera cannot use AJ-P2C002SG (2 GB)
cards.
• The indicated capacities include a management area
so the total area available for recording is somewhat
smaller.
Splitting clips recorded on P2 cards
This camera will automatically generate additional
clips for a continuous recording on an 8 GB or
higher capacity P2 card when the recording exceeds
the durations given below. Even so, a P2 device
will handle such clips as a single clip in thumbnail
operations (display, delete, recover, copy, etc.). Such
recordings may be handled as separate clips by
nonlinear editing software or a PC.
