Before calling for service (continued)
Shooting
Cannot shoot even
though the P2 card is
inserted correctly.
• Make sure the P2 card’s write-protect switch is not in the
PROTECT position.
Recording is not possible if it is in this position.
(Page 12)
• There may be little free memory left on the P2 card.
If so, save the data onto another media, and delete the data
you no longer need; alternatively, replace the card with a
new one.
• The P2 card may be formatted incorrectly. Alternatively, the
card you are using may not be formatted for use with the
unit. If so, format the card in the unit.
(Page 13)
• 2 GB P2 cards cannot be used.
• The media information display may be indicating “
E
”.
If so, format the card in the unit.
(Page 124)
• Recording is not possible if the number of clips on a single
P2 card exceeds 1000.
As clips made of many linked clips are generated with one-
clip recording, there may be 1000 clips even when the
number of clips you can see on the thumbnail screen is less
than 1000.
Cannot perform interval
recording, one-shot
recording or loop
recording.
• Insert 2 cards which recording space are left over 1 minutes
when performing loop recording.
(Page 46)
• In modes such as 24P you cannot perform these types of
recording.
See page 43 “Using special recording modes” and set the
recording format etc.
Editing
Cannot perform
nonlinear editing.
• Check the specifications of your personal computer and
connecting cable.
(Page 102)
• Check the menu settings and operation mode.
For a 1394 connection, use PB/THUMBNAIL mode or set
REC SIGNAL in the setting menu to 1394.
Also, for a USB connection, set PC MODE SELECT to USB
DEVICE and select PC mode using the POWER/MODE
switch.

(Page 137)
Cannot dub onto an
external device.
• Make sure the external device is connected correctly.
(Page 103)
• Are you using a mode that can output from the DVCPRO/DV
terminal?
You cannot output with native recording mode for AVC-Intra,
24PN etc.
Displays
Something is wrong with
the time code display.
• The time code display may not register a regular count if a
tape is played in the reverse slow mode. This is normal.
