SD Memory Cards (continued)

Repairing SD Memory Cards

Never remove the SD Memory Card or disconnect the battery or DC cable while the SD Memory Card access lamp is flashing, as doing so

may damage the SD Memory Card. If you do accidentally remove the SD Memory Card while the SD Memory Card access lamp is flashing, or disconnect the battery or DC cable during recording or the recording finalization process, a repair verification screen is displayed the next time the power is switched on, allowing errors to be repaired.

•Clips with a total recording time of less than 10 seconds may be impossible to repair.

•Indexes attached during recording and metadata cannot be repaired.

∗AVCCAM Restorer is provided on the CD-ROM that is supplied with the portable recorder. Use it with your computer. For details on using the software, see the operating instructions (PDF file) that are included on the supplied CD-ROM. The AVCCAM Restorer can also be downloaded from the following website. https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/

Select [YES] to begin repairing. When repairing is complete, “REPAIR FINISHED” will be displayed, and the display will switch to the recording paused screen.

Select [NO] to switch directly to the recording paused screen without repairing.

•Memory cards cannot be repaired with the

portable recorder if [NO] is selected, but can still be repaired by using the AVCCAM Restorer∗ content repair software.

•An SD Memory Card on which an error occurred can be repaired by using either the recorder unit that was used for the recording, or the AVCCAM Restorer content repair software.

•A repair confirmation message may be displayed after inserting an SD Memory Card which has no error, but repair will not be performed even when [YES] or [NO] is selected.

•Repair may take up to 20 minutes or so depending on the places where the errors occurred on the card.

Use a sufficiently charged battery or the AC adapter.

•If the repair operation has failed, “SYSTEM ERROR TURN POWER OFF” will be displayed. In this case, please use the AVCCAM Restorer content repair software.

Depending on the status of the data, it may not be possible to restore all data completely. In this case, it will no longer be possible to play back the clips that were recorded before the power was turned off.
