This section describes the basic procedure for shooting and
recording. Before you embark on a shoot, pre-inspect your
system to ensure that it works properly.
* For directions on inspecting your memory card camera-recorder, see
[Inspections Before Shooting] (page 146).
Battery Set-up to P2 card Insertion
Insert a charged battery pack.
Turn on the POWER switch and ensure that
more than four segments of the battery-
remaining amount indication bar are
illuminated.
If the number of illuminated segments is fewer than
five, first check the battery placement. If placement is
not the problem, replace the battery with a fully charged
one.
Insert a P2 card and ensure that the P2 CARD
ACCESS LED stays on in orange or green.
Then, close the card slot cover.
When more than one P2 card slot contains a P2 card,
the card in the slot with the lowest number is used first.
However, regardless of slot number, a P2 card inserted
later will not be accessed until the other cards have
been used.
If all 2 slots contain P2 cards, the cards are used in
order of slot numbers 1
Slot 1 is removed and then re-inserted, the cards will be
used in the following order: 2
Note that the recording order is retained even if the power is
turned off. When the power is next turned on, the last card
written before powering-down will be the target card.
When “SLOT1” is selected for the menu option P.ON REC SLOT
SEL, recording starts from the P2 card inserted in the smallest
slot number, after the power is turned on.
The menu item P.ON REC SLOT SEL is found in the <REC
FUNCTION> screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.
