Format the P2 card to prepare for write back. 1 Switch to the USB host mode. For details, refer to [Switching to USB Host Mode] (page 140). 2 Connect a hard disk drive via USB. 3 Insert the P2 card to which data will be written back to. 4 Press the THUMBNAIL button, select HDD  EXPLORE from the thumbnail menu, move to the partition with the data that will be written and press the SET button. 5 Select OPERATION  IMPORT  ALL from the thumbnail menu and select a slot with an empty P2 card for writing to. 6 Select YES. • This starts the write process to the card. • C OPY COMPLETED! announces the end of the write back process. Hard disk drive precautions • Use hard disk drives (including P2 STORE (AJPCS060G)) according to the following conditions. - O perate hard disk drives within their operating specifications (temperature, etc.). - Do not use hard disk drives in locations that are unstable or exposed to vibration. • Some hard disk drives may not operate normally. • SATA (serial ATA) or PATA (parallel ATA) interface hard disk drives connected using a USB conversion cable may not be recognized. • Use hard disk drives with plenty of capacity for copying data. • During formatting and copying, do not disconnect cables or remove a P2 card that is involved in these activities and do not power off this camera and the hard disk drive, as the camera and hard disk drive will otherwise have to be rebooted. • A hard disk drive is a precision instrument whose read and write functions may fail in some operating environments. • Please note that Panasonic accepts no liability whatsoever for data loss or other losses either direct or indirect arising from hard disk damage or other defects. • When data from this camera is copied to a hard disk and is edited on another computer, the data may no longer work in this unit and the hard disk data may become corrupted. • Use of the drive mount converter distributed by the below URL allows you to mount specific folders when a hard disk drive is connected. https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/  NOTE • It is not possible to import data by the partition between P2 cards with different model numbers. Import data in clip units from cards with a different model number. • To turn off the verify phase in a write back operation, select HDD  SETUP in the thumbnail menu and set VERIFY to OFF. This speeds up the write back time but does not verify the written data. • When a clip is written back to a P2 card it was not originally on may make that clip an incomplete clip. Should this happen, reconnect it. Refer to [Reconnection of Incomplete Clips] (page 109). 144

Hard disk drive precautions

• Use hard disk drives (including P2 STORE (AJ-

PCS060G)) according to the following conditions.

- Operate hard disk drives within their operating

speciﬁcations (temperature, etc.).

- Do not use hard disk drives in locations that are

unstable or exposed to vibration.

• Some hard disk drives may not operate normally.

• SATA (serial ATA) or PATA (parallel ATA) interface hard

disk drives connected using a USB conversion cable may

not be recognized.

• Use hard disk drives with plenty of capacity for copying

data.

• During formatting and copying, do not disconnect cables

or remove a P2 card that is involved in these activities

and do not power off this camera and the hard disk drive,

as the camera and hard disk drive will otherwise have to

be rebooted.

• A hard disk drive is a precision instrument whose

read and write functions may fail in some operating

environments.

• Please note that Panasonic accepts no liability

whatsoever for data loss or other losses either direct or

indirect arising from hard disk damage or other defects.

• When data from this camera is copied to a hard disk and

is edited on another computer, the data may no longer

work in this unit and the hard disk data may become

corrupted.

• Use of the drive mount converter distributed by the below

URL allows you to mount speciﬁc folders when a hard

disk drive is connected.
