memory card is write protected, or because it is
not the type of card specified for use with this

Notes
• All data is erased when you format a memory card,
including setup files and all of the recorded video data.
• Use the format function of this camcorder to format
SxS memory cards for use on this camcorder. The
formats of cards formatted on other devices are not
recognized as valid formats, making it necessary to
format them again on this camcorder.
You can check the remaining capacity of the SxS
memory cards loaded in the A and B slots by
checking the recording media remaining capacity
display in the viewfinder.
The camcorder calculates the remaining
recording time for the media in each slot on the
basis of the current video format (recording bit
rate), and displays it in units of minutes.
When media is inserted in both the left and right
slots, and the camcorder is recording or can
record to both, the left or right media with the
lower remaining recording time is displayed.
When the camcorder is recording or can record to
left slots or right slots only, the remaining
recording time for that media is displayed.
You can also check the remaining time in the
BATTERY/MEDIA status screen
.

The
mark appears when a memory card is write
protected.

indicator on the viewfinder screen flash, and the
buzzer sounds when the remaining recording time
of the memory cards falls below five minutes.
Exchange the memory card for media with
available recording capacity.
