NOTE
t
The above table shows values for regular recording. With native recording, even longer recording times are available depending on the system mode.
t
In the case of 32 GB P2 cards, the recording time becomes 1/2 of the above recording times, in the case of 16 GB P2 cards, the recording time
becomes 1/4, and in the case of 8 GB P2 cards, the recording time becomes 1/8.
t
Indicated capacities include management and other area, so the space available for recording is less than the values in the table above.
Dividing clips recorded on P2 cards
If P2 cards with a capacity of 8 GB or more are used on the camera, recording is automatically continued as another clip when a single continuous
recording time exceeds the following times. When thumbnails for clips are handled (displayed, deleted, restored, etc.) on P2 devices, they can be
handled as a single clip. Clips may be displayed as separate clips in nonlinear editing software and on a computer. A clip will be divided to recording
files of approximately 128 seconds each when [SHORT] is selected in the main menu
→
[RECORDING SETUP]
→
[FILE SPLIT], but they can be
operated as a single clip when the thumbnails of clips are operated on the P2 device. The dividing unit of the recording files will become smaller when
[SHORT] is selected while using the rec during upload function is used, allowing to make the timing to start the clip transfer earlier. [SHORT] is disabled
in interval recording, one-shot recording, and loop recording modes.

CPS (Content Protection System)
The microP2 memory card supports the security function “Content Protection System” that allows encryption formatting to prevent data leak to third
parties.
To use the CPS function, set a CPS password to the body, and enable the microP2 memory card authentication and encryption formatting functions. An
encrypted microP2 memory card will be automatically recognized between devices where the same CPS password is set, and recording and playback
of the microP2 memory card are enabled. For details, refer to “Setting CPS password” (page 114).

The encrypted microP2 memory card is not recognized on the SD card slot in a computer.

If the card is unable to be recognized, authenticate with the correct password or format and use the card as recording media. Recording data on the
card failed to be recognized cannot be checked. Do not perform any operation other than manual authentication and formatting with the failed card
inserted.
t
To access the encrypted card from a computer in the USB device mode, authenticate the encrypted card with P2 Viewer Plus.
