•  This starts the write process.

To interrupt writing, press the SET button. 
Selecting YES in the cancel confirmation that 
appears will stop the write process.

write process. 
 NOTE
• To turn off the verify phase in a write operation, select 
HDD  SETUP in the thumbnail menu and set VERIFY 
to OFF.  This speeds up the write time but does not 
verify the written data. 
• Selecting ALL SLOT writes the data on all inserted P2 
cards inserted in the camera to the hard disk drive. 
 NOTE
• A TYPE S hard disk drive can write data in card units. Up to 
23 P2 cards can be saved to a hard disk drive.  
The P2 card data recorded on a hard disk drive are 
recognized as separate drives. 
• To write P2 cards with bad clips, it is a good idea to repair 
these clips before writing them to a hard disk drive. 
• Ending a recording during the verify phase will end writing of 
data from the P2 card to the hard disk drive. 
Writing back data to P2 cards
This allows you to select a clip from the hard disk drive and 
write it back to a P2 card.
