Preparations Formatting an XQD memory card If an XQD memory card is not formatted, or was formatted with another system, the message "Media Needs to be Formatted" is displayed on the LCD/viewfinder screen. Format the card as follows. Using "Format Media" (page 46) in the Media menu, specify "Media(A)" (slot A) or "Media(B)" (slot B) then select "Execute." On a confirmation message, select "Execute" again. The in-progress message and status bar are displayed, and the access lamp lights in red. When formatting is complete, a completion message is displayed. Press the SEL/SET dial to hide the message. If formatting fails A write-protected XQD memory card or memory card that cannot be used with this camcorder will not be formatted. As a warning message is displayed, replace the card with an appropriate XQD memory card, according to the instructions in the message. Notes • All the data, including recorded pictures and setup files, are erased when a memory card is formatted. Checking the remaining time available for recording While recording (or standing by to record), you can check the remaining space for the XQD memory cards loaded in the card slots on the A/B slot media status/remaining space indication of the LCD screen/viewfinder screen (page 19). The available time for recording with the current video format (recording bit rate) is calculated according to the remaining space of each card and displayed in time units of minutes. Notes • A icon appears if the memory card is writeprotected. Replacing an XQD memory card • If the available time on two cards in total becomes less than 5 minutes, the warning message "Media Near Full" is displayed, the recording lamp flashes, and a beep sound is output to the headphones to warn you. Replace the cards with those that have sufficient space. • If you continue recording until the total remaining time reaches zero, the message changes to "Media Full," and recording stops. Notes • Up to approximately 9,999 clips can be recorded on one XQD memory card. If the number of recorded clips reaches the limit, the remaining time indication becomes "0," and the message "Media Full" is displayed. 26 Using XQD Memory Cards
