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
1
Insert a charged battery pack.
2
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.
3
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.
Example:
If all 2 slots contain P2 cards, the cards are used in
order of slot numbers 1>2. However, if the P2 card in
Slot 1 is removed and then re-inserted, the cards will be
used in the following order: 2>1.

3
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.
Note
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.
Basic Procedures

Switch Setting
When a battery and P2 cards are installed, set the switches
as detailed below, before starting to use your unit.
Setting the switches before shooting and recording
USER MAIN:
This switch is factory-set to perform
slot selection.
GAIN:
Normally, this should be set to 0 dB. If
conditions are too dark, an
appropriate gain level should be set.
Notes
The USER MAIN button is factory-set to perform the slot
selection function, which selects the target card from among
several P2 cards.
When a new target P2 card is selected, the appropriate slot
number appears on the P2 card remaining amount indicator
in the viewfinder.
> For more information about the indications in the viewfinder,
see [Viewfinder Status Indication Layout] (page 76).
SLOT SEL function is enabled during recording. Until the P2
card on which images are recorded has been switched
completely, "SLOT SEL" blinks on the viewfinder. If the
"SLOT SEL" operation cannot be executed for any reason, for
instance immediately after starting recording or switching
the P2 card on which images are recorded, "SLOT SEL
INVALID" is displayed.
