•  This starts the write process to the card. 
•  COPY COMPLETED! announces the end of the write 
back process. 
 NOTE
• It is not possible to import data by the partition between P2 
cards with different model numbers. Import data in clip units 
from cards with a different model number. 
• To turn off the verify phase in a write back operation, select 
HDD  SETUP in the thumbnail menu and set VERIFY to OFF. 
This speeds up the write back time but does not verify the 
written data. 
• When a clip is written back to a P2 card it was not originally 
on may make that clip an incomplete clip. Should this 
happen, reconnect it. 
   Refer to [Reconnection of Incomplete Clips] (page 118). 
Hard disk drive precautions
•  Use hard disk drives (including P2 STORE (AJ-
PCS060G)) according to the following conditions. 
-  Operate hard disk drives within their operating 
specifications (temperature, etc.). 
-  Do not use hard disk drives in locations that are 
unstable or exposed to vibration. 
•  Some hard disk drives may not operate normally. 
•  SATA (serial ATA) or PATA (parallel ATA) interface hard 
disk drives connected using a USB conversion cable may 
not be recognized. 
•  Use hard disk drives with plenty of capacity for copying 
data. 
•  During formatting and copying, do not disconnect cables 
or remove a P2 card that is involved in these activities 
and do not power off this camera and the hard disk drive, 
as the camera and hard disk drive will otherwise have 
to be rebooted. In addition, be sure that the camera’s 
battery is sufficiently charged or use the AC adapter.
•  A hard disk drive is a precision instrument whose 
read and write functions may fail in some operating 
environments. 
•  Please note that Panasonic accepts no liability 
whatsoever for data loss or other losses either direct or 
indirect arising from hard disk damage or other defects. 
•  When data from this camera is copied to a hard disk and 
is edited on another computer, the data may no longer 
work in this unit and the hard disk data may become 
corrupted. 
•  Use of the drive mount converter distributed from the 
support desk at the following website allows you to mount 
specific folders when a hard disk drive is connected.
