Restoring Memory Cards

If for any reason an error should occur in a memory card, the card must be restored before use.

When you load a memory card that needs to be restored, a message appears in the camera image panel asking whether you want to restore it.

To restore a card

Select [Execute] using the arrow buttons in the GUI control panel and press the [Set] button.

A message and progress status (%) are displayed while formatting is in progress, and the access indicator is lit red.

When restoration ends, a completion message appears.

If restoration fails

  • Memory cards on which memory errors have occurred cannot be restored. A warning message is displayed. Follow the instructions to replace the memory card.
  • Memory cards on which memory errors have occurred may become usable if they are reformatted.
  • In some cases, some clips can be restored while others cannot. The restored clips can be played normally.

Note

  • For restoration of media recorded with this unit, be sure to use this unit.
  • Media recorded with a device other than this unit or with another unit of different version (even of the same model) may not be restored using this unit.
  • Clips shorter than 2 seconds cannot be restored.
