f
In the [PROXY REM] item, check the remaining recording time of
the proxy data.
The remaining SD memory card capacity displayed (PROXY REM)
indicates the remaining proxy recording, but it may differ from
the actual available space. If short recordings are repeated, the
available recording time may decrease significantly compared to the
available space. When the remaining capacity exceeds 999 min,
[999min] is displayed.
If the proxy is not recorded to the SD memory card, the remaining
time is not displayed.
f
In the [NUMBER OF CLIPS] item, check the number of clips
recorded in the SD memory card.
If the number of clips exceeds 1000, no additional proxy data can be
recorded to the SD memory card even if there is available capacity.
f
Shot marks and text memos cannot be added to the clips in the SD
memory card,
f
Deleting the clips recorded on the P2 card on the thumbnail screen
does not delete the proxy data recorded on the SD memory card.
f
The proxy data cannot be recorded to the SD memory card
containing data for updating.

NOTE
t
While recording to the SD memory card, the remaining capacity
can be checked with the mode check on the viewfinder screen.
t
If the [REC MEDIA] item on the setting menu [PROXY SETTING]
screen is set to [P2&SD] and the proxy data cannot be recorded
to the SD memory card, [SD CARD WRITE ERR] is displayed
when recording starts. In that case, check the SD memory card.
For details, refer to “Error displays about proxy data recordings”

(These are reference values for continuous recording with Panasonic products. The recording time may differ depending on the scene or the number of
clips.)
Proxy recording in one-clip recording mode
Proxy recording is possible even in the one-clip recording mode. Since proxy data is also grouped together in the same way as a combined clip, it can
be handled as a single clip in a P2 viewer, for example. However, note the following when recording the proxy data to SD memory cards.
f
When the SD memory card is removed and replaced while combining of clips is in progress, proxy recording is not performed to the SD memory card
until combining of subsequent clips ends. Check available space and the number of the files (maximum 1000 clips) before using the card. In case
you want to continue proxy recording after changing the SD memory cards during the process, press the <STOP> button for two seconds to finish the
merge, and start recording as a new clip.
f
The proxy data in the SD memory card that the recording interrupted does not match the clip data recorded to the P2 card, resulting in incomplete
data.
f
During a clip merge, some menu items displayed in the [PROXY SETTING] screen cannot be changed. Press the <STOP> button for approximately
two seconds to stop combining to the clip, and try the operations again.
Checking the proxy data
f
The [ ] indicator is displayed for the material clips with the proxy data recorded.
f
The detailed information of the recorded proxy data can be viewed in the clip property.
For details on operations, refer to “Checking detailed information of the proxy data” (page 165).
f
The proxy data is recorded to the P2 card or SD memory card as a video/audio file and real-time metadata file.
-
Video/audio file:XXXXXXXX.MP4 or XXXXXXXX.MOV
-
Real-time metadata file:XXXXXXXX.BIN
The time code, user bits, and UMID information are recorded to the frame unit.
Use a P2 viewer to check the proxy data. Some versions of the P2 viewer may not be able to check the data.
For information on the P2 viewer, visit the following website:
