Notes on data compatibility with other
XDCAM EX-series products
• When you use other PMW-series products to
play materials recorded on the PMW-F3K/F3L,
any media in which clips of formats not
supported by those products have been recorded
cannot be used.
• The setting data (page 131) including picture
profiles of the PMW-F3K/F3L cannot be used
on other products.
• The setting data for other PMW-series products
cannot be used on the PMW-F3K/F3L.
Fragmentation
If pictures cannot be recorded/reproduced
properly, try formatting the recording medium.
While repeating picture recording/playback with
a certain recording medium for an extended
period, files in the medium may be fragmented,
disabling proper recording/storage. In such a
case, make a backup of clips in the medium then
perform formatting of the medium using “Format
Media” (page 130) of the OTHERS menu.
This camcorder uses a backup battery to retain
various setting data.
A lithium battery (CR2032) for backup is
mounted in the camcorder at the factory.
The backup battery retains the date, time, and
timecode in Free Run mode even when no
operating power is being supplied.
