P2 card recording time

Dividing clips recorded on P2 cards

If P2 cards with a capacity of 8 GB or more are used on the camera, recording is automatically continued as another clip when a single continuous recording time exceeds the following times. When thumbnails for clips are handled (displayed, deleted, restored, etc.) on P2 devices, they can be handled as a single clip. Clips may be displayed as separate clips in nonlinear editing software and on a computer.

When recording on microP2 memory cards that exceed 32 GB in AVC-LongG codec, recording can be continued as the same clip by selecting the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT] → [ONE FILE].

A clip will be divided into recording files of approximately 128 seconds each when [SHORT SPLIT] is selected in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [FILE SPLIT]. They can be operated as a single clip when the thumbnails of clips are operated on the P2 device.

The dividing unit of the recording files will become smaller when [SHORT SPLIT] is selected while the rec during upload function is used, allowing to make the timing to start the clip transfer earlier. For details, refer to “Rec during upload function”.

[SHORT SPLIT] is disabled in interval recording, one-shot recording, and loop recording modes.
