Basic Procedures - Panasonic AJ-HPX2000 Operating Instructions Manual

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 138).
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 slide-out door.
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 five slots contain P2 cards, the cards are used in
order of slot numbers 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5. However, if
the P2 card in Slot 1 is removed and then re-inserted,
the cards will be used in the following order:
2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 1.

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.
This option is found in the REC FUNCTION screen on the
SYSTEM SETTING page.
Switch Setting
When a battery and P2 cards are installed, set the
switches as detailed below, before starting to use your unit.

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 70).
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,
