The first time you use a Capture Drive with the camera, initialize it first using the camera's menu. 1 Set the main recording format to [RAW ( Capture Drive)] or [ProRes ( Capture Drive)] (A 65). [Rec/Media Setup] (3) > [Main Rec Format] > [RAW ( Capture Drive)] or [ProRes ( Capture Drive)] 2 Initialize the Capture Drive in the recorder. [Rec/Media Setup] (3) > [Initialize Media] > [ Capture Drive] 3 Camera menu: Press both [FORMAT] buttons simultaneously. Monitoring menu: Select [OK] and then press SET. • Refer also to Initializing Recording Media (A 51). • The Capture Drive will be initialized for use with the recording format selected in step 1. IMPORTANT • Initializing a Capture Drive will permanently erase all the data it contains. Lost data cannot be recovered. Make sure you save important recordings in advance. • Observe the following precautions while the camera is accessing the Capture Drive in the recorder. Failure to do so may result in permanent data loss. - Do not turn off the camera or recorder. Do not remove/disconnect the battery or other power source. - Do not open the recorder's Capture Drive bay. NOTES • You can check the capacity and remaining available recording time of the Capture Drive on the [MEDIA] screen. • A Capture Drive cannot be used to record clips in different recording formats (RAW and ProRes). • When you initialize a Capture Drive with the main recording format set to [ProRes ( Capture Drive)], the recordable space will be reduced to approximately half of the Capture Drive's nominal capacity to ensure a highly reliable format thanks to the use of multi-stream processing.
