Manual CPS authentication

An encrypted microP2 memory card is authenticated on the camera automatically, and can be used only if authentication has succeeded.

If different encrypted microP2 memory card is inserted into the card slot on the device where different CPS password is authenticated, authentication will fail. To use the failed microP2 memory card temporarily, enter the authenticated CPS password onto the microP2 card manually with the following procedures. If the password matches, the card can be used.

1) Display the thumbnail screen, and select [CARD STATUS] in the main menu → [CLIP] → [PROPERTY].

On the failed card, the slot number frame at the top right of the screen turns red, and [AUTH NG CARD] is displayed on the remaining capacity bar. Use the cursor buttons (`/{) to set the card to the selected state.
