While recording (or standing by to record), you
can check the time remaining for the AXS
memory cards on the AXS memory status/
remaining space indication of the sub display

(page 17)

or viewfinder screen

(page 20)

.

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 write-

protected.

• When the AXS-R7 is attached to the camcorder, the

time remaining on the active AXS memory card is
displayed. To switch active media, use the SLOT
SELECT button on the AXS-R7.

If a data error occurs on the AXS memory card for
some reason, the card must be restored.
If an AXS memory card that needs to be restored
is connected, a message prompting you to execute
restoration is displayed on the viewfinder screen.
Restore the card as instructed follows.

Select “Execute” by turning the MENU
dial, then press the MENU dial.

During restoration, the in-progress message and
status bar are displayed, and the ACCESS lamp
lights in red.
When restoration is completed, the completion
message is displayed, then press the MENU dial
to disappear the message.

If restoration fails

• A write-protected AXS memory card or one on

which an error occurred cannot be restored. For
such a card, a warning message is displayed.
Release the write protection or replace the card,
according to the instructions in the message.

• An AXS memory card on which an error

occurred may become usable again through
repeated formatting.

• In some cases, only parts of clips cannot be

restored. Playback of the restored clips becomes
possible again.

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.

To update the managerial file

If clips cannot be played back, updating the
managerial file on the card may improve the
situation. For this operation, use “Update Media”

(page 99)

of the Media menu.
