6. Basic operation
6-1. Handling recording media
This unit uses CFast cards as recording media.
This unit cannot record video data to SDHC cards.
6-1-1. CFast cards
CFast is a new specification created by the CompactFlash
Association. This compact storage format uses a serial
ATA interface to achieve I/O speeds that surpass previous
products, including CompactFlash cards.
Retaining the small size and convenience of CompactFlash
cards, this medium boasts much higher transmission
speeds and power when transmitting large volumes of
data. In addition, precise power control reduces energy
consumption.
6-1-2. Handling
CFast cards are designed to be tough, but you should
take care to avoid allowing them to be dropped.
In order to assure the accuracy and security of data,
please observe the following precautions.
o
Format CFast cards with the VR-24 before using them
with this system.
o
When not using a CFast card, store it in a protective
case.
o
Avoid dusty or humid environments.
o
Avoid direct sunlight, high and extremely cold tem-
peratures, as well as extreme temperature changes.
o
Do not force a CFast card into the card slot.
If you are having trouble inserting the CFast card,
confirm the notch location and that it is oriented
correctly.
o
Read the CFast card operation manual.
o
Always remove the CFast card before transportation.
6-1-3. CFast card insertion and removal
The recording media slot cover is at the bottom center
of the side of the unit. Open the black cover to access
the CFast card slot.
The CFast card has a front end that must be inserted
first. Insert the card with the correct orientation. Forcing
a card into the card slot is dangerous and could even
damage the device.
Always put the unit into standby before inserting or
removing a CFast card.
WARNING
Never remove a CFast card when the unit is on.
Removing a card could cause recording to fail or
recorded data to be lost, for example. Moreover, doing
so could also damage the unit.
CFast card insertion
1
Open the recording media slot cover on the
bottom center of the side of the unit.
2
Insert the CFast card into the card slot with
the orientation as shown in the following
illustration.
Push the CFast card in gently until it reaches the
stopper, which will cause the lock lever to the right
of the CFast card to project forward. Pull out the
locking clasp and fix it to the front of the CFast card.
This is a measure to prevent the CFast card from fall-
ing out unexpectedly.
