A clip that is recorded on multiple P2 cards may become an
incomplete clip (
indicator) due to not being recognized as
a continuous clip. When this happens, you can use the recon-
nection function to reconnect the continuous clip segments to
restore the original clip.
Note:
• Incomplete clips occur under the following conditions.
- When the segments of a continuous clip that are recorded on
multiple P2 cards are copied separately for each P2 card.
- When the segments of a continuous clip that are recorded on
multiple cards are copied separately for each card to a stor-
age device and then written back to the P2 cards.

Select the incomplete clips to reconnect.
Note:
Normally, the thumbnails with the incomplete clip indicator
(
) are grouped together.

Use the cursor buttons to align the cursor with the “RE-
CONNECT” (
➝
page 83) menu item and press the
[SET] button.

Align the cursor with “YES” in the confirmation mes-
sage and press the [SET] button.
Select “NO” to not reconnect the clip segments.

When some but not all the clip segments in a clip that consists

plete clip indicator (
