Battery Set-up to P2 card Insertion

1

Insert a charged battery.

 

 

2

Turn the POWER switch to ON to check the

battery remaining level in the viewfinder.

• When battery capacity is low, replace it with a fully charged battery.

NOTE

When low battery capacity is indicated after replacing a battery with a fully charged battery, check battery installation.

For details, refer to [BATTERY SETUP screen] (page 144).

3 Insert a P2 card, check that the P2 CARD ACCESS LED lights orange or green before closing the 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 the two slots contain P2 cards, the cards are used in order of slot numbers 12. However, if the P2 card in Slot 1 is removed and then re- inserted, the cards will be used in the following order: 21.
