compartment mechanism operable again.

3-1-6 Handling of Discs When
Recording Does Not End
Normally (Salvage Function)
Recording processing does not end normally if, for
example, the battery pack is removed during recording, or
if the power cord is disconnected during recording.
Because the file system is not updated, video and audio
data recorded in real time is not recognized as files and clip
contents recorded up to that point are lost.
