ffIn the [PROXY REM] item, check the remaining recording time of the proxy data.
The remaining SD memory card capacity displayed ([PROXY REM]) indicates the remaining proxy recording, but it may differ from the actual available space. If short recordings are repeated, the available recording time may decrease significantly compared to the available space. When the remaining capacity exceeds 999 min, [999min] is displayed.
If the proxy is not recorded to the SD memory card, the remaining time is not displayed.
ffIn the [NUMBER OF CLIPS] item, check the number of clips recorded in the SD memory card.
If the number of clips is 1000 or more, no additional proxy data can be recorded to the SD memory card even if there is available capacity. ffShot marks and text memos cannot be added to the clips in the SD memory card,
ffDeleting the clips recorded on the P2 card on the thumbnail screen does not delete the proxy data recorded on the SD memory card. ffThe proxy data cannot be recorded to the SD memory card containing data for updating.
