Turn the <POWER> switch <ON>, and check the battery charge level.

Insert a P2 card, make sure that the P2 card access LED is illuminated orange or green, and then close the slot cover. (Fig. 2)
When two P2 cards are inserted in the card slots, data will be recorded to the P2 card with the smaller slot number first. Note, however, that
regardless of the slot number, if a P2 card is inserted later, recording to that P2 card will be performed after the previously inserted P2 card.

Example: When P2 cards are inserted in two slots
If P2 cards are inserted in both slots, recording to the P2 cards are performed in the order of slot number 1
→
2. However, if you remove the P2
card from slot 1 and then insert it again, recording of the P2 card will take place in the order from slot 2
→
1.
The number of the P2 card to be recorded to is held even if the camera is turned off. When the camera is turned on the next time, recording can be
continued to the same P2 card as that used before the camera was turned off.
