Note:
• When the TYPE S format is used for exporting, the P2 card
data and the copied data on the storage device can be ver-
ified (compared) automatically after exporting. In the factory
default settings, verification is enabled for exporting. When
verification is set not to be performed after exporting, the ex-
ported data is not verified so less time is required to com-
plete the export operation.
To disable verification, set the "VERIFY" (➝ page 89) menu
item to "OFF."
With the FAT format, verification is not performed regardless
of this setting.
• To stop exporting, press the [SET] button, align the cursor
with "YES" in the "CANCEL" confirmation message, and
press the [SET] button.
• Stopping the process during verification has no effect be-
cause the copying of the P2 card has already finished.
• A microP2 memory card over 32 GB cannot be exported
and imported. Copy the clips.
