•The AJ-P2C002SG (2 GB) card cannot be used.

•The displayed available space includes the management area, and so the space available for recording is smaller than this.

•Concerning the division of clips recorded on P2 cards

When using a P2 card of at least 8 GB in this camera, if the continuous recording time for a single session exceeds the time shown in the following table, recording will be automatically resumed as a different clip. When performing a thumbnail operation (display, delete, restore, copy, etc.) on clips using P2 cards, you can operate them as a single clip. When you are using non-linear editing software and a PC, for example, the clips are displayed individually.
