Basic procedures
This section describes the basic procedures for shooting and recording. Before you actually start shooting, pre-inspect your system to ensure that it
works properly. (page 48)
Power supply setup to P2 card insertion
1
Insert a charged battery pack. (Fig. 1)
2
Set the <POWER> switch to < j > (ON), and make sure that five or more levels on the battery charge level indicator bar are lit.
If five or more levels on the battery charge level indicator bar are not lit, be sure to check the battery settings. (page 190) If the settings are correct,
replace with a fully charged battery.
3
Insert a P2 card, make sure that the P2 card access LED is illuminated orange or green, and then close the slot cover. (Fig. 2)
When two P2 cards are inserted in the card slots, the P2 card with the smaller slot number will be recorded to first. Note, however, that regardless of
the slot number, if a P2 card is inserted later, that P2 card will not be accessed until the previously inserted P2 card has been recorded to.
f Example: When P2 cards are inserted in two slots
If P2 memory cards are inserted into two slots, the P2 cards are used in the order of the slot number 1 → 2 (on the microP2 memory card slot, slot
number 3 → 4). However, if the P2 card in slot number 1 (3) is removed and then re-inserted, the P2 cards will be used in the order of slot number
2 → 1 (4 → 3).
The P2 card number to be recorded to is held even if the camera is turned off. When the camera is next turned on, recording can be continued to the
same P2 as before the camera was turned off.

NOTE
t If a low battery charge level is indicated even after replacing with a fully charged battery, make sure that the battery has been inserted correctly.
(page 190)
t When set [SLOT 1/3] in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC/PB SETUP] → [P.ON REC SLOT SEL], the P2 card with the smaller slot number will be
recorded to first each time that camera is turned on.
t Select which of P2 or microP2 memory card slot is to be used as the recording card slot beforehand. If the card is inserted into the slot which is not
selected as the recording slot, recording is disabled.
Select the recording slot by the following method.
- Set in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC/PB SETUP] → [REC MEDIA].
- Press the <USER> buttons to which [REC MEDIA] is assigned to switch the selected slot.
- Re-insert the card into the selected card slot. For details, refer to "Inserting a P2 card" (page 51).
Shooting and recording switch settings

a: <USER MAIN> button
Set to the card slot for recording target.
b: <GAIN> switch
