•Do not eject the P2 card or turn the power off under the following circumstances, since doing

so may cause a malfunction in the card:

1 While the orange P2 card access lamp is

blinking after the card is inserted (and until it stops blinking).

2During recording, during the recording finish process, or while the access lamp is blinking.

•If a P2 card is ejected during formatting or while its data is being accessed, “TURN POWER OFF” appears in the viewfinder and LCD monitor, and a warning is indicated by the tally lamp. If this happens, turn the power off and back on again.

··When a card is ejected during formatting: Format the card again.

··When a card is ejected while its data is being accessed:

The clips may be thrown out of order. (Page 78) Check the clips and repair them. “Restoring clips” (Page 85)

•Immediately after pre-recording, a P2 card inserted into an empty slot will not be immediately recognized.

•During playback, a P2 card inserted into the empty slot will not be recognized and the P2 card access lamp will not light. When playback is completed, the P2 card recognition will begin.

•You can use ACCESS LED on the OTHER FUNCTIONS screen to set the P2 card access lamps so that they will always be off. In this case, either turn off the power or wait until enough time has passed after inserting the cards or stopping operation before ejecting the cards.

•When a P2 card is removed in PB/THUMBNAIL mode or PC mode (USB HOST), the screen is updated once it is closed.

However, the system returns to the thumbnail screen no matter which screen was displayed just prior to removing the card.

Furthermore, if a P2 card remains in the other slot at this time, this card will be accessed so please be careful when removing P2 cards consecutively.
