Writing data on a hard disk drive

1 Switch the mode to USB HOST.

•“Switching to the USB HOST mode” (Page 111)

•The thumbnail screen is displayed.

(USB HOST is displayed in the bottom right.)

2 Connect a hard disk drive via USB.

A hard disk drive that has not been formatted with the camera-recorder must be formatted as directed in “Formatting a hard disk drive” (Page 114).

3 Insert a P2 card.

4 Press the MENU button and select HDD → EXPORT from the thumbnail menu. Specify the slot that contains the P2 card bearing the data to be written to the hard disk drive.

5 Select YES.

•This starts the write process.

•When the data is being written, a progress bar is displayed. To discontinue writing, press the SET button on the Operation lever instead of cancellation confirmation.

•When the writing is completed, the message “COPY COMPLETED!” is displayed.

•To disable verification at the time of writing, select HDD → SETUP from the thumbnail menu and set the option VERIFY to OFF. This speeds up writing without verifying data writing.

•Select ALL SLOT to write data collectively onto all P2 cards currently inserted in the unit to the hard disk drive.

•For a Type-S hard disk drive, data can be written on a card basis. The data on up to 23 P2 cards can be stored on the hard disk drive. The data set on each P2 card is recognized as a separate drive by the PC.

•If data on a P2 card that contains a defective clip must be written to a hard disk drive, then we recommend fixing or deleting that clip before writing the data.

•When the process is diskontinued during verification, the data on the P2 card has been written to the hard disk drive.
