To restore a card
Select "Execute" by turning the jog dial or
tilting the joystick then push the dial or
joystick.
The restore operation begins.
During restoration, an in-progress message and
status bar (%) are displayed, and the ACCESS
lamp is lit in red.
When restoration is completed, a completion
message is displayed for three seconds.
If restoration fails
• A write-protected SxS memory card or one on
which an error occurred cannot be restored. For
such a card, a warning message is displayed.
Release the write protection or replace the card,
as per the instructions in the message.
• An SxS memory card on which an error
occurred may become usable again through
repeated formatting.
• In some cases, only parts of clips cannot be
restored. Playback of the restored clips becomes
possible again.
• The following operation may restore an SxS
memory card for which the message "Could not
Restore Some Clips" is repeatedly displayed
each time you try the restoration process:
1
Copy necessary clips to another SxS memory
card, using the copy function (page 106) of
the camcorder or dedicated application
software (supplied).
2
Format the problem SxS memory card, using
the format function of this camcorder.
3
Return the necessary clips to the SxS
memory card by copy operation.
Recording/playback during restoration
You can perform recording or playback using the
SxS memory card in the other card slot while
restoration is in progress.

46 Handling SxS Memory Cards
To update the managerial file
If clips cannot be played back, updating the
managerial file on the card may improve the
situation.
