SD Memory Cards (continued)
Repairing SD Memory Cards
Never remove the SD Memory Card or disconnect
the DC cable while the SD Memory Card access
lamp is flashing, as doing so may damage the
SD Memory Card. If you do accidentally remove
the SD Memory Card while the SD Memory Card
access lamp is flashing, or disconnect the DC
cable during recording or the recording finalization
process, a repair verification screen is displayed
the next time the power is switched on, allowing
errors to be repaired.
Select [YES] to begin repairing. When repairing is
complete, "REPAIR FINISHED" will be displayed,
and the display will switch to the recording paused
screen.
Select [NO] to switch directly to the recording
paused screen without repairing.
• Memory cards cannot be repaired with the
portable recorder if [NO] is selected, but can still
be repaired by using the AVCCAM Restorer ∗
content repair software.
• An SD Memory Card on which an error occurred
can be repaired by using either the recorder unit
that was used for the recording, or the AVCCAM
Restorer content repair software.
• A repair confirmation message may be displayed
after inserting an SD Memory Card which has no
error, but repair will not be performed even when
[YES] or [NO] is selected.
• Repair may take up to 20 minutes or so
depending on the places where the errors
occurred on the card.
• If the repair operation has failed, "SYSTEM
ERROR TURN POWER OFF" will be displayed.
In this case, please use the AVCCAM Restorer
content repair software.
Depending on the status of the data, it may not
be possible to restore all data completely. In this
case, it will no longer be possible to play back the
clips that were recorded before the power was
turned off.
• Clips with a total recording time of less than 10
seconds may be impossible to repair.

• Indexes attached during recording and metadata
cannot be repaired.
∗ AVCCAM Restorer is provided on the CD-ROM

it with your computer. For details on using the
software, see the operating instructions (PDF file)
that are included on the supplied CD-ROM. The
