Formatting
USB flash drives must be formatted with the
FAT32 file system.
Note
Before using a drive, format it on this camcorder or a PC.
If a drive formatted on a PC cannot be used, format it on
the camcorder.
1
Connect a USB flash drive to the
external device connector.
If the drive is unformatted or has been
formatted to other specifications, a message
to confirm whether formatting is to be
executed appears on the LCD monitor/EVF
screen.
2
Using the up/down/left/right buttons or
the jog dial, select “Execute,” then press
the SEL/SET button or the jog dial.
When formatting is completed, the message
“Format USB Memory Done” is displayed.
The \MSSONY\PRO\XDCAM\MEMDISC
folder and the \General\Sony\Planning folder
are automatically created in the drive.
If the format operation fails
A format operation may fail because the USB
flash drive is write protected, or because it is not
the type of drive specified for use with this
camcorder.
In this case, an error message appears. Follow the
instructions in the error message and exchange
the drive for one that can be used with this
camcorder.
Restoring USB Flash Drives
If a USB flash drive that cannot be mounted
normally (due to file system damage) is
connected, a message will appear on the LCD
monitor/EVF screen asking whether you want to
restore it.
Using the up/down/left/right buttons or the jog
dial, select “Execute,” then press the SEL/SET
button or the jog dial. Formatting starts and a
progress (%) indication appears.
When formatting is completed, the message
“Format USB Memory Done” is displayed.
