Ejecting a usb key drive

[Paulgul]

I've only just bought my HDR2000T so I'm not familiar with all the options.
I want to be able to copy some (SD) programs to a usb key drive, do I need to eject the drive when copying is finished, if so, how?

I don't normally bother - once the light stops flashing and/or "copying" status is no longer present in the on-screen menus it's finished. Never had any problems. The reason for ejecting a drive in Windows is in case the data is buffered for background transfer.

If you really do want to eject the drive, there are options on the hidden menu. I don't know how to access it on an HDR-2000T, but for HDR-FOX see Things Every... (click) section 9.

This info is also correct for the 2000T.
When on the Hidden Menu page - select USB, it has one option USB eject.

Thanks for the replies, unless I run into problems I'll just remove the drive, haven't even come across the hidden menus yet - they must be well hidden

You have to use an unpublished key sequence to get to it. See Things Every..., as state above.
