MicroDrive Media

Unlike Compact Flash media, which has no
moving parts, MicroDrive media is a small
mechanical device. It is therefore adversely
affected by vibrations that could cause the drive
mechanism to skip. Such vibrations could be
caused by loud sounds in the environment where
the HD-P2 is located – they could be caused by
running the built-in speaker at high sound levels

LCD Ghosting

If the LCD backlight is on for 16+ hours and/or
the temperature exceeds 40 degree Celsius, faint
ghosting of the LCD information may appear.
It is not permanent and will go away when the
temperature is reduced.

Mic Switch Operation

The switch must be set to

– they could also be caused by excessive jostling
when used with the shoulder strap. It is strongly
recommended that Compact Flash media be used
in situations where vibration, physical shock, or
jostling is possible.
One symptom of MicroDrive media being affected
by vibration or shock is stopped recordings due to
a buffer over run.

FireWire Power

Some PCI FireWire cards have been found to have
a power connector on them that can take power
from a disk drive-style power connector. Such
cards rely on that power connector for to make
good voltage available to a device connected to
their FireWire connection.
If your PCI based FireWire card has a connector
for a disk drive-type power plug, it must be
connected for proper FireWire voltage to
be available to the HD-P2 via the FireWire
connection.
