USB LUN Setting 369

9.16 USB LUN SETTING

Menu Position MENU  4  USB LUN Setting
nd
What it Does Allows a 2 read-only drive to appear when attached to a
computer.

Recommended Setting Multi (at least initially)

LUN stands for Logical Unit Number, and if a camera has more than one
USB LUN, then it can appear as more than one device when hooked up to a
computer. In this case, with this function set to ON, and MENU  4
 USB Connection is set to Mass Storage, then your computer sees two
drives when the camera is turned on: The memory card, and a separate
drive called PMHOME which contains the Windows installation software
for PlayMemories Home. (That’s right – all that trouble just to distribute a
software program.) If you don’t need to install this software (or you’ve
already done so) there’s no reason to keep this function on and you can
safely change it to Single.

The PMHOME directory is read-only; you can’t erase it from the camera,
nor can you store information in it. Sony recommends setting this feature
to Single when connecting to something other than a computer, or when
MENU  4  USB Connection is set to MTP and doesn’t work.

Mac Users: Sony recommends selecting this function to Single all the time.
