• 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.

HDD  SETUP in the thumbnail menu and set VERIFY to OFF.

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.

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.
• 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.
