Handling SxS Memory Cards
41
Preparations
• We recommend that you make a backup copy of
important data. Sony accepts no responsibility
for any damage or loss of data you recorded.
• Do not apply a label sheet in places other than
the label space. When applying the label sheet
to this media, do not allow it to protrude from its
proper location.
• SxS memory cards to be used with this
camcorder must be formatted using the format
function of this camcorder. If a card is formatted
using other device, it is regarded as of a
different format, requiring repeated format
operation on this camcorder.
(Formatting or deleting with the function of the
camcorder does not completely delete data on
this media. When transferring or disposing of
this media, use a commercial data deleting
software or destroy the actual body at you own
responsibility.)
• If the available recording time on a card is short,
clip operation may be restricted. In such a case,
delete unnecessary files by using a PC.
• Remove or reinsert the case card with the case
opened properly.
For write protection
Setting the write-protect switch of the SxS
mem
ory card to “WP” disables you to record, edit
or delete data.
Note
Do not operate the write-protect switch of an SxS
memory card while it is set in the camcorder.
Temporarily remove the card from the camcorder
before changing the switch setting.
The card slots are located behind a cover.
