Handling of Discs When Recording

Does Not End Normally (Salvage

Functions)

Recording processing does not end normally if, for example, the POWER switch on the rear panel is turned off during recording, or if the power cord is disconnected during recording. Because the file system is not updated, video and audio data recorded in real time is not recognized as files and clip contents recorded up to that point are lost.

However, this unit has salvage functions which can hold losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such discs.

There is a quick salvage function which executes automatically and a full salvage function which you can execute as required.

Quick salvage: Clips are reconstructed on the basis of backup data stored in nonvolatile memory and markers recorded on the disc. Processing time is about 5 seconds.

Quick salvage executes automatically if the unit is powered on with a disc still loaded after recording was interrupted by power off.
