81 I. Recording, media and troubleshooting I2. Error Messages and common problems Restore Media: If on switching on the camera or inserting an XQD card you see the message “Restore Media” do not worry. This is the camera performing routine maintenance on the card to keep the file system tidy and free from corruption. Always allow the camera to perform the Restore Media function. It is not an error or fault, just housekeeping. Execute APR: After switching the camera on you may see a message saying “Execute APR”. This is not an error or malfunction. The APR function minimizes the appearance of bright or dark sensor pixels and minimizes sensor noise. Cover/cap the lens and press SEL/SET to execute the APR function. If you do not perform APR you will be reminded to perform APR the next time the camera is turned on. You should perform APR regularly to maintain the best possible image quality. Audio is not being recorded: When using S&Q motion or Interval Record audio recording is not possible. Content sSection Index
