When a confirmation screen asks you to confirm that

you want to reconnect the clip, use a cursor button and

the SET button to select YES if you want to reconnect

or they will be displayed as incomplete clips.

Selected clips can be copied to the P2 card or SD memory

The thumbnail screen appears on the LCD monitor.

Use the cursor buttons to move the pointer to

the desired clip and press the SET button.

Notes

Do not turn off the power or remove a P2 card while data is

being copied. Doing so may cause the P2 card to fail.

If you

clips is copied. However, when they are copied to the SD

memory card *, video and sound information is not copied,

only thumbnails, clip metadata, icons, Voice Memo, proxy,

and real-time metadata.

When there is insufficient recording capacity on the

destination, the message “LACK OF REC CAPACITY!” is

displayed, and copying will not proceed. When clips to be

copied include some with defects, the message “CANNOT

ACCESS!” is displayed, and copying will not proceed. If

selected clips include any that are already recorded on the

destination P2 card, copying will not proceed.

To interrupt copying, press the SHIFT button + EXIT button,

or the SET button.
