Repairing memory cards
For AVCHD mode
Never remove the memory card or disconnect
the battery or DC cord while the memory card
access lamp is flashing, since this may damage
the memory card. If the memory card has been
removed while the memory card access lamp
was flashing, or the power was cut because the
battery or DC cord has been disconnected during
recording or the recording finalization process, a
repair verification screen will be displayed the next
time the power is switched on in order to allow
errors to be repaired.
Select [YES] to begin repair, and when repair is
completed, [REPAIR FINISHED] will be displayed
and the camera will switch to the shooting paused
screen.
Select [NO] to switch directly to the shooting
paused screen without repair.
•
Memory cards cannot be repaired with the
camera if [NO] is selected, but can still be
repaired by using the AVCCAM Restorer*
contents repair software.
•
A memory card on which an error occurred can
be repaired by either using the camera that was
used for shooting, or the AVCCAM Restorer
contents repair software.
•
A repair confirmation message may be displayed
after inserting a memory card which has no error,
but repair will not be performed even when [YES]
or [NO] is selected.
•
Repair may take up to approximately 20 minutes
depending on the places where the errors
occurred on the memory card.
•
Use a battery with an adequate charge, or the AC
adaptor.
•
If the repair operation has failed [SYSTEM
ERROR TURN POWER OFF] will be displayed.
In this case, use the AVCCAM Restorer contents
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 shooting time of less than 10
seconds may not be repaired.
•
Indexes attached during shooting cannot be
repaired.
•
To repair the two memory cards that recorded
video with SIMUL REC, follow the instructions
displayed on the repair verification screen and
repair each of the memory cards.
