automatically. When the anti-shock function is activate, the buffer indicator on the viewfinder
screen shows buffer usage.

The media bay on the top-right shoulder of the camcorder includes one REV PRO media slot
and two CompactFlash slots. Slide the cover switch towards the back of the camcorder to
open the protective cover and to get access to the media slots.
To insert a disk into the REV drive:
1. Ensure that the REV PRO logo on the disk is facing away from the camcorder.
2. Insert the disk in the direction indicated by the arrow on the front of the disk and push
firmly until it clicks into place.
Wait a few seconds for the disk to be mounted.
When the disk is ready for use, the indicator is blue.
The indicator is purple when the disk is full.
