Make sure that the P2 card access LED illuminates in orange or green. (page 43)
When two P2 cards are inserted in the card slots, the P2 card with the smaller slot number will be recorded to first. Note, however, that regardless of
the slot number, if a P2 card is inserted later, that P2 card will not be accessed until the previously inserted P2 card has been recorded to.
f
Example: When P2 cards are inserted in two slots
If both slots contain P2 cards, the P2 cards are recorded in order from slot number 1
→
2. However, if the P2 card in slot number 1 is removed and
then re-inserted, the P2 cards will be used in the following order: slot number 2
→
1.
The P2 card number to be recorded to is held even if the camera is turned off. When the camera is next turned on, recording can be continued to the
same P2 as before the camera was turned off.

NOTE
t
After insertion, do not remove the P2 card while it is being accessed or recognized (the P2 card access LED is flashing orange). Doing so may result
in a malfunction.
t
If you remove the P2 card while it is being accessed, [E-30] [TURN POWER OFF] is displayed in the viewfinder and the camera informs you of
warning via the tally lamp, etc. All P2 card access LEDs flash rapidly in orange. Turn off the power. (page 203)
t
If the P2 card is removed while being accessed, clips on it may become irregular. Check the clips and restore them, if required. (page 108)
t
If the P2 card is removed while it is being formatted, formatting of the removed P2 card is not guaranteed. In this case, [E-30] [TURN POWER OFF] is
displayed in the viewfinder. Turn the power off and then on again, and reformat the P2 card.
