The unit can be connected to a hard disk drive that supports
USB 2.0 to store data from cards on it, view thumbnails for
stored clips, and write data back to P2 cards.
1 By navigating the menu, set the PC MODE SELECT
menu option on the <SYSTEM MODE> screen on the
SYSTEM SETTING page to “USB HOST”, then the PC
MODE option to “ON”. This will place the unit in USB
HOST mode.
When the unit is in USB HOST mode, the viewfinder
indicates “USB HOST” and the USB LED on the side
panel stays illuminated. If the hard disk drive is not
properly connected, then the LED blinks.
When a user button is assigned the PC MODE on/off
switching capability, you can press that user button to
switch between the normal and USB HOST modes.
For information about how to assign functions to the
user buttons, see [Assigning Functions to User
Buttons] (page 56).
2 Press the THUMBNAIL button to go to the thumbnail
screen. Check to see that the screen indicates “USB
HOST” in the lower right corner. When a hard disk drive
is connected, the HDD indication in the upper right
corner stays illuminated. However, if this indicator
illuminates red, it means that the hard disk drive cannot
be copied. Confirm the hard disk drive type.
For information about the HDD indication, see
[Thumbnail Screen] (page 121).

Note
In USB HOST mode, clips on P2 cards can be played back
but video from the camera or an external device cannot be
recorded.
Clips written to a hard disk must be written back to a P2 card
before it can be played back. For information about how to
write clips back to P2 cards, see [Writing data back to P2
cards] (page 146).
To return to the normal mode from the USB HOST mode, set
PC MODE to “OFF” or press a user button which has been
assigned the PC MODE on/off function while the thumbnail
screen is closed.

Notes
While the USB HOST mode supports USB bus power
(5 V, 0.5 A), some hard disk drives may not activate. If this
is the case, power must be supplied in a different way.
Do not connect multiple hard disk drives through a hub
even if the power is turned off. Also, avoid connecting
other devices together with a hard disk drive through a
hub.
The unit does not support a hard disk drive of 2 TB or
more.
