Repairing SD Memory Cards
Never remove the SD Memory Card or disconnect 
the battery or DC cord while the SD Memory Card 
access lamp is flashing, as doing so may damage 
the SD Memory Card. In the event that the SD 
Memory Card has been removed while the SD 
Memory Card access lamp was flashing, or that 
the battery or DC cord has been disconnected 
during recording or the recording finalization 
process, a repair verification screen will be 
displayed the next time the power is switched on in 
order to allow errors to be repaired.
Select YES to begin repairing. When repairing is 
complete, “REPAIR FINISHED” will be displayed, and 
the camera will switch to the recording paused screen.
Select NO to switch directly to the recording 
paused screen without repairing.
Memory cards cannot be repaired with the 
camera if NO is selected, but can still be repaired 
by using the AVCCAM Restorer∗ contents repair 
software.
An SD Memory Card on which an error occurred 
can be repaired by using either the camera 
that was used for the shooting, or the AVCCAM 
Restorer contents repair software.
A repair confirmation message may be displayed 
after inserting an SD Memory Card which has no 
error, but repair will not be performed even when 
YES or NO is selected.
Repair may take up to 20 minutes or so 
depending on the places where the errors 
occurred on the card.
Use a battery with an adequate charge or the AC 
adapter.
If the repair operation has failed, “SYSTEM 
ERROR TURN POWER OFF” will be displayed. 
In this case, please use the AVCCAM Restorer 
contents repair software.
  Depending on the status of the data, it may not 
be possible to restore all data completely. In this 
case, it will no longer be possible to play back the 
clips that were recorded before the power was 
turned off.
Clips with a total recording time of less than 10 
seconds may not be able to be repaired.
Indexes attached during recording cannot be 
repaired.
