The door opens.

Then, depress the eject button to release the P2 card so
that you can remove it.
Notes
Do not remove the P2 card while it is being accessed or
recognized (the P2 card access LED flashes orange), or
the P2 card may fail. When the unit is set to keep the P2
card access LEDs turned off, stop the recording/playback
and ensure that the PRE RECORDING is complete before
removing the P2 card.
If a P2 card being accessed is removed, the viewfinder
displays “TURN POWER OFF” and unit gives a warning
using an alarm and the WARNING lamp. In addition, all P2
card access LEDs blink rapidly in orange. If this is the
case, turn the power off. For more information on warning
indications, see [Warning System] (page 155).
If a P2 card is removed while being accessed, clips on it
may become irregular. Check the clips and restore them if
required. For more information about how to restore clips,
see [Restoring Clips] (page 129).
If a P2 card being formatted is removed, it may be not be
formatted properly. In this case, the viewfinder displays
“TURN POWER OFF”. If this message appears, turn off
the power, then restart unit to reformat the card.
If a P2 card is inserted while another P2 card is being
played back, the inserted P2 card is not recognized and
the P2 card access LED for that card does not come on.
Card recognition starts when the playback ends.
Even if a P2 card is inserted in a vacant slot while
recording, the media may not be recognized during the
following times:
– Immediately after pre-recording
– Immediately before or after switching from the first P2
card for recording to the second one, when data are
recorded on multiple cards spanning from one to the
other (hot-swap recording)
<For Your Information>
The P2 card access LEDs may be set to stay off using the
menu option ACCESS LED. This option can be found on the
<OPTION MODE> screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.
To prevent the content of a P2 card being accidentally
erased, position the write-protect switch on the P2 card at
[Protect].
Note
Write-protect switchover can be performed while the card is
being accessed (during recording or playback), but does not
take effect until access to the card ceases.
