Do not eject a P2 card while its data is being accessed or while it is being recognized after insertion (the P2 card access lamp is blinking orange).

If a P2 card is ejected during formatting or while its data is being accessed, “TURN POWER OFF” appears in the viewfinder, and a warning is indicated by an alarm or 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 data on the card will not be destroyed, but the clips may be thrown out of order. Check the clips and repair them. (For details on repairing clips, see page 69.)

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.

If a P2 card is ejected while thumbnails are displayed, the thumbnail screen is released.
