To fix this problem, follow the messages displayed on the screen. (੬ pg. 55) ● To maintain high performance, perform check disks (error checks) using your computer on a regular basis. Use a USB cable to connect the camera and PC, and then perform the check disk on the removable hard disk using the same procedure as a regular local disk (C drive). Refer to the instruction manual of your PC for check disks. ● Clean up the disk regularly to maintain high performance. (੬ pg. 41, 49) Also read "Recording Medium" on page 58.

When recording data is formatted or deleted on the camera, this only modifies the file management information, and the data is not completely erased. When discarding or giving away the removable hard disk, to prevent problems caused by the release of sensitive information, it is extremely important that the customer take responsibility to erase all recorded data. Some recommended methods of erasing data include using a commercial data removal program or using a hammer or strong magnet to physically or magnetically destroy the data on the hard disk so that it cannot be read.

Removable Hard Disk
The removable hard disk is a precision
electronic device. Be careful when handling it.
Cautions for external jolt or stress
After removing the disk from the camera, store it
by inserting into the supplied protective case.
Do not press on the
cover.
Do not subject the disk
to vibrations or sudden
jolts. Be especially
careful to avoid sudden jolts when shooting or
during playback.
Do not affix stickers or write on the label.
Do not apply strong pressure to the outside of the
disk. Also, do not put it in your pants pocket or
other location where it can be pressed on.
Cautions for temperature
The camera’s protection circuit may work for the
proper recording or playback when the camera’s
internal temperature rises or during usage in a
cold location. (
±
pg. 55)
The camera and removable hard disk can heat up
when used for an extended period. However, this
is not a malfunction.
The disk can heat up when used for an extended
period. Therefore, do not remove it immediately
from the camera.
Other cautions
Condensation can cause the drive to break down.
If water is splashed on the drive, make sure that it
is completely dried before usage.
Do not use, replace, or store the disk in locations
that are exposed to strong static electricity or
electrical noise.
Do not turn off the camera power or remove the
battery or AC adapter during shooting, playback,
or when otherwise accessing the recording
medium.
Do not bring the recording medium near objects
that have a strong magnetic field or that emit
strong electromagnetic waves.
Since data must be read and written by the drive
correctly, the camera may be unable to shoot
when the camera heats up, such as during
continuous shooting, or when the camera is
cooled down during usage in a cold location. To
fix this problem, follow the messages displayed
on the screen. (
±
pg. 55)
To maintain high performance, perform check
disks (error checks) using your computer on a
regular basis. Use a USB cable to connect the
camera and PC, and then perform the check disk
on the removable hard disk using the same
procedure as a regular local disk (C drive). Refer
to the instruction manual of your PC for check
disks.
