A P2 card in this unit’s P2 card slot can be accessed as a mass storage device by connecting the unit
to a PC using USB 2.0. In this case, the PC must have a driver installed (for USB 2.0). Clips recorded on
P2 cards can also be viewed on a PC using our free P2 Viewer, downloadable from our website
(
➝ “Website URL” page 11).

cursor buttons, and press SET.
Connect a USB2.0 or USB3.0 storage device to the USB 3.0 HOST port (

write the data back to a P2 card. Clips on the external storage device can be easily played back for
review. To use the USB 3.0 HOST port for an external storage device, set STORAGE - UBS HOST to
ENABLE in the menu.
