regrettably this is not in the release notes but it is in the updated version of the ops manual, which should go live this week

ok, good to know, and it turns out Susana was at 1.0. hopefully she’ll be ok once the camera is upgraded.
thx..

Ok, in a way that’s good news, as you are simply below the supported version. I am very surprised that it accepts the cards at all.
The firmware and detailed installation instructions can be downloaded here:

Interesting. Were you below 1.10? Usually with media support it is all-or-nothing. All 1.15 adds is support for SxS-1A and high speed Memory Sticks. 1.10 added official support for SDHC cards. If I put an SDHC card into a pre-1.10 EX1R I would expect to see an unknown/unsupported media error.
From the release notes:
[1.10]
[Change Points]
1. SDHC cards are now supported. (Optional media adaptor MEAD-SD01 is required.)
2. The title setting of maximum 46 characters is enabled.
3. Display of a long clip name on the CLIP INFO screen is enabled. (Long display mode)
4. The camera data that is stored by PMW-EX1 or PMW-EX3 can be recalled by PMW-EX1R.
5. Switching of the Image Inversion setting with S&Q ON is enabled.
[1.15]

Usable media
â–ª New SxS-1 (SBS-32G1A/64G1A) memory card is supported.
â–ª MS-HXA series is supported.
If only for future reference, can you let me know what version you upgraded from/to?
Thanks for the feedback.

Menu O-27, Rec Format. Set System Line = 1080, System Frequency = 59.94i, Rec Format = IMX 50, Aspect Ratio = 16:9. The Aspect selection is not available until you select an SD format.

While it would be good to know the firmware version that is not the likely cause. If the firmware was too low the media would probably not be recognized at all and there would be an “unknown media” error. When these Restore errors come up during recording it is almost always because of the media itself. Either it is having trouble keeping up or there is some other issue with how it is taking the data from the camera’s recording buffer. If you see this issue with the latest firmware and multiple SDHC cards of the same make/spec, you may want to try a different card. The use of media adaptors in and of itself is not a problem, though we’d prefer that you use SxS cards. (Not simply because they are made by Sony— if you have a problem with an SxS card there is more that we can do in the way of support. With SDHC cards there is only so much we can do.)

Free-standing MXFs created in Clip Browser can be file-imported or dragged in from Finder/Windows Explorer. If this isn’t working there’s a bigger problem as this was a supported workflow as far back as Ppro CS3. Good luck.
-
It’s watermarked because it’s a trial version.
I thought CS4 had native support via the media browser…If not, re-wrapping to MXF in CB would be a lot faster than converting to ProRes, which requires an actual transcode.
-
Also– if you are using EX and have an older version of PPro that doesn’t have native support you can use Clip Browser to re-wrap the files. Use the Export–>’MXF for NLE’ option, then import the .mxfs into PPro.

If you have CS5 you don’t need to use XDCAM Transfer. You import via the PPro Media Browser. Set the File Type dropdown to XDCAM EX or XDCAM HD and you should be able to drag your clips right in. The Apple codec support does not always port over to other applications, unfortunately. Those rewrapped MOVs would require FCP or the appropriate Calibrated plugin.
