P2 Card Recording Times - Panasonic AG-HPX500P Operating Instructions Manual

Precautions in 1394 Connections
• The camera does not supply power via the cable.
• Observe the following in connections using a 1394
cable (DV cable).
• Connect this unit to only one other device.
• Do not expose the 1394 connector to excessive
force when connecting a 1394 cable (DV cable) to
avoid damaging the connector.
• If an error (1394 INITIAL ERROR) should occur
when making a connection, reinsert the 1394 cable
or turn the camera off and then turn it back on
again.
• Make sure that the camera and all connected
devices are connected to ground (or connected
to a common ground). If the equipment cannot be
connected to ground, turn off all connected devices
before connecting or disconnecting an IEEE 1394
cable.
• When connecting the unit to a device with a 4-pin
connector, connect the cable to the 6-pin connector
on the camera first.
• Be sure to properly connect the 1394 cable to a
personal computer with a 6-pin connector. Note
that inserting the plug the wrong way round may
damage the connector.
6-pin type
• AV signals may be disrupted when connected
devices are turned on and off or when the interface
cable is connected or disconnected.
• It may take the system a few seconds to stabilize
after switching input signals or changing modes.
Start recording after the system has stabilized.
• The AUDIO LEVEL control does not work in
recordings that involve IEEE1394 interface input or
output signals.
• Observe the following precautions when controlling
a P2 memory card camera-recorder using PC
application software (editing software).
• Recording cannot be inserted to a portion within
a clip. It can only be appended to the end of the
newest clip.
• Do not open the thumbnail screen as this will
prevent normal operation of the application
software.
• Unprocessed video and audio signals are output via
the IEEE 1394 interface during special playback.
When monitored on another device, these video and
audio signals may sound different than when played
back on this unit.
• CH1 and CH2 audio channel signals for the DV or
DVCPRO (25M) format are output via the IEEE1394
interface.

so the total area available for recording is somewhat
smaller.
A continuous recording that is longer than the
durations given below on an 8 GB P2 card in this
camera will result in the automatic division of the
recording into different clips. Even so, the recordings
on the two clips can be handled as a single clip in
thumbnail operations (display, delete, recover, copy,
etc.) on a P2 device.
Such a recording may be handled as separate clips
by nonlinear editing software or on PCs.
