Troubleshooting
measurement loop of the program. An error code will be returned when the tools are
executed by F5/F8 if the amount of dead space exceeds the threshold.
The threshold is specified as (
amount of dead space
)/(
amount of dead space
+
free
space
) in percent. The functionality for automatic defragmentation can be disabled by
setting the threshold to -1. The lower limit for the threshold is set to 20%, and the upper
limit is set to 80%. The reason for not allowing less than 20% is that the defragmentation
shall not be performed too often. The default value for the threshold is set to 50%.
If the automatic defragmentation is enabled, the camera may perform a defragmentation
of the flash disk when powered up. During this operation, the function LED is set to yellow.
Note that the time to start the camera will in this situation be longer than usual.
