this camcorder. Any PHU-60K formatted with
another device must be formatted again with
this camcorder.
In Camera mode, the remaining capacity (in
minutes) of the PHU-60K connected via a card
slot is displayed in the viewfinder.
The available time for recording with the current
video format (recording bit rate) is calculated
according to the remaining space of the hard disk
and displayed in time units of minutes.
The remaining capacity can also be checked in a
meter format on the BATTERY/MEDIA status
screen (page 95).
If an error occurs with data on the PHU-60K for
some reason, the hard disk must be restored.
If a PHU-60K that needs to be restored is

joystick.
The restoration begins.

status bar (%) are displayed, and the ACCESS
lamp is lit in red.
When restoration is completed, a completion
message is displayed for three seconds.
If restoration fails
• A PHU-60K on which an error occurred may
become usable again through repeated
formatting.

restored. Playback of the restored clips becomes
possible again.
