Message Cause & Troubleshooting Reference

(1) Data error in a part of
image file. Repair data
now?
(2) Found error in image
file. Repair data now?
(3) Data error in all
image file. Repair all
data now?
It is possible that the system cannot normally complete writing of file
when, for example, power is turned off for some reason during
recording or editing (deleting, dividing or combining scenes, or
creating play list). Selecting “YES” will automatically repair the
video file, but even if “NO” is selected, the same message will
appear when the DVD Video Camera is turned on next time. (Do not
remove the disc while the DVD Video Camera is recognizing it:
ignoring this will deactivate the file repair function.)
Follow the instructions on screen, taking note of the following
cautions:
Data may not be repaired, depending on the timing when power
was turned off.
Data may not be repaired normally if data recorded on another
recorder is mixed in.
The repaired data may be different from the original recorded
content because of partial deletion of defective portion.
Since the date/time of repair is added to the repaired data (only
the corrected portion for partial repair), the original date/time
information will be lost.
Since all movies, and then all stills, are repaired, the order of
recorded contents will be lost.
(In case of message (2) (3) only)
See *1 on page156.
