You can restore clips with yellow defective clip indicators. Delete clips with red defective clip indicators. If the clips cannot be deleted, format the P2
card.
During restoration of the clips, however, the defective clip indicator may change from yellow to red, and result in the inability to restore the clips.

NOTE
t
Turning off the power or inserting/removing a card during copying may damage the P2 card. If you accidentally make these mistakes, it can result in
defective clips. After deleting the defective clips redo copying.
t
Copying is not performed when the following error messages are displayed.
- [LACK OF CAPACITY!]
Copying could not be performed because the recording capacity of the copy destination is insufficient.
- [UNKNOWN CONTENTS FORMAT!]
Copying could not be performed because a defective clip is selected.
- [NO COPY TO SAME CARD!]
Copying could not be performed because you are attempting to copy to the same card.
- [TOO MANY CLIPS!]
Copying could not be performed because there are too many clips selected.
t
If the copying is performed while a text memo is selected in the lower part of the text memo, the section between the selected text memo position and
the next text memo will be copied. If no text memo is found after the selected one, then the part after the selected text memo to the end of the clip is
copied. For details, refer to “Using a text memo to divide a clip and copy the necessary portion” (page 104).
t
To interrupt copying, press the <SHIFT> button
+
<EXIT> button, or the control stick to cancel the operation. The clip being copied will be deleted from
the copy destination.
t
When identical clips (same [GLOBAL CLIP ID]) exist on the destination, [OVERWRITE?] is displayed. Select [YES] when overwriting the clip, and
select [NO] when not overwriting the clip.
Setting clip metadata
Information such as the name of the person who shot the video, the name of the reporter, the shooting location, or text memos can be loaded from an
SD memory card, and can be recorded as clip metadata.
Clip metadata items
Clip metadata includes the following items. Underlined items can be set by loading the metadata upload file on the SD memory card. Other items are
set automatically during shooting. Using the latest update version of P2 Viewer Plus, metadata upload files can be written to SD memory cards using a
computer. Download and install the latest version of P2 Viewer Plus from the following website.
