Please observe the following precautions. Failing to do so may result in permanent data loss.
When a CF card appears in the media panel:
- Do not remove the CF card or the CF card reader without safely ejecting the media first.
- Do not access, change or delete any of the CF card's folders or files directly from the computer.
Always save clips on the computer and write back clips onto the CF card using only XF Utility.
When the camcorder is connected directly to the computer:
- Do not open any of the CF card slot covers and do not remove the CF cards.
- Do not disconnect the USB cable without safely ejecting the camcorder first.
- Do not turn off the camcorder or the computer.
If you only want to read clips from the CF cards in the camcorder and do not need to write onto
them, you can connect the camcorder even if it is powered only by a battery pack.
Insert the CF cards that contain the clips you want to check into the camcorder in advance.
Use the optional IFC-400PCU USB cable or similar mini-B USB cable.
The CF cards in the camcorder will appear in the media panel as CF A, CF B.
The CF card will disappear from the media panel, and XF Utility will no longer be able to access it.
You can also right-click on the CF card icon in the media panel and select Eject from the
contextual menu that opens.
If there are two CF cards in the camcorder, repeat steps 1 and 2 to eject the second card (CF B)
in a similar manner.
If you logged in to Windows XP using a limited user account, you will not be able to use this
function. In that case, exit XF Utility and use Windows' Safely Remove Hardware function before
removing the camcorder.
