In the following cases, it may take time to complete writing to the P2 card.
Pressing the <REC> button does not accept operations immediately.
- When short-burst recording is stopped
- When stopping recording immediately after recording to the second P2 card
t
The recording is started using the internal memory of the camera even if the recording is started right after inserting the P2 card is inserted or the
power is turned on. In such case, the recording cannot be stopped until the P2 card is recognized. The warning is displayed as [REC PAUSE INVALID]
at this time.
Push the <MARKER SEL>/<MODE CHECK/MENU CANCEL> switch three times towards the <MCK/MCL> side and check the P2 card status on the
[SLOT1] and [SLOT2] rows (or, [SLOT3] and [SLOT4]) displayed on the viewfinder screen.
Native recording
This recording method extracts and records valid frames at the shooting frame rates in 1080P and 720P native recording (24PN, 25PN, 30PN).
With native recording, you can record longer than the normal recording time.
Even in native recording, the rate for outputting camera images and playback images is 59.94 frames or 50 frames that are pulled down.

NOTE
t
Recording starts from the beginning of a 4-frame cycle for 24PN (native recording) and 2-frame cycle for 30PN (native recording). Therefore, the time
code may become non-continuous when clips are recorded continuously in system modes with different recording cycles.
t
The recording cannot be started immediately after inserting the P2 card or the power is turned on during the native recording. Start recording after the
P2 card is recognized.
Push the <MARKER SEL>/<MODE CHECK/MENU CANCEL> switch three times towards the <MCK/MCL> side and check the P2 card status on the
[SLOT1] and [SLOT2] (or, [SLOT3] and [SLOT4]) rows displayed on the viewfinder screen.
