tt The above table shows values for regular recording. With native recording, even longer recording times are available depending on the system mode. tt In the case of 32 GB P2 cards, the recording time becomes 1/2 of the above recording times, in the case of 16 GB P2 cards, the recording time

becomes 1/4, and in the case of 8 GB P2 cards, the recording time becomes 1/8.

tt Indicated capacities include management and other area, so the space available for recording is less than the values in the table above.

Dividing clips recorded on P2 cards

If P2 cards with a capacity of 8 GB or more are used on the camera, recording is automatically continued as another clip when a single continuous recording time exceeds the following times. When thumbnails for clips are handled (displayed, deleted, restored, etc.) on P2 devices, they can be handled as a single clip. Clips may be displayed as separate clips in nonlinear editing software and on a computer. When recording on microP2 memory cards that exceed 32 GB using AVC‑LongG codec, recording can be continued as the same clip by setting in main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC/PB SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT].

CPS (Content Protection System)

The microP2 memory card supports the security function “Content Protection System” that allows encryption formatting to prevent data leak to third parties.

To use the CPS function, set a CPS password to the camera, and enable the microP2 memory card authentication and encryption formatting functions. An encrypted microP2 memory card will be automatically recognized between devices where the same CPS password is set, and recording and playback of the microP2 memory card are enabled. For details, refer to “Setting CPS password” (page 122).

@@NOTE

tt Set or delete the CPS password in the main menu → [CLIP] → [PROPERTY] → [CPS PASSWORD].
