Restoring the SDHC Card

It is necessary to restore the SDHC card if an abnormality occurs to the data in the card due to some reasons.

The message ARestore MediaB appears on the LCD monitor/ viewfinder screen when an SDHC card that requires restoring is inserted.

Memo :

●To cancel the message display, press the [CANCEL] button. A [!] mark appears at the remaining media display area when an SDHC card that requires formatting is inserted.

1 Select [Restore Media] in the [Media...] menu. (A Page 89)

2 Select the slot of the SDHC card to be restored and press the Set button.

Note :

●[Restore Media] can only be selected in Camera mode. However, it cannot be selected while the camera recorder is recording. Select [Restore Media] in Camera mode when the camera recorder is not recording.

●[Restore Media] does not restore the SDHC card to its original states completely. If restoring fails, replace or format the SDHC card. Take note that formatting the SDHC card erases all information inside.

Memo :

●Restoring cannot be performed in the following cases.

●Camera recorder is recording in progress.

●SDHC card is not inserted.
