z
After insertion, 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. If your unit is not
set to turn on the P2 CARD ACCESS LED, before
removing the card ensure that PRE-RECORDING have
finished after stopping recording or playback.
z
If a P2 card being accessed is removed, the viewfinder
displays “TURN POWER OFF” and camera-recorder
gives a warning using an alarm and the WARNING LED.
In addition, all P2 CARD ACCESS LEDs blink rapidly in
green. If this is the case, turn the power off. For more
information on warning indications, see [Warning
System] (page 151).
z
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 123).
z
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 camera-recorder to reformat the card.
z
If a P2 card is inserted while another P2 card is being
played back, the inserted P2 card is not recognised and
the P2 CARD ACCESS LED for that card does not come
on. Card recognition starts when the playback ends.
z
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, which is accessible from
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.
* The mode check indication is shown in the viewfinder. For more
information, see [Viewfinder Status Indication Layout] (page 71).
The access LED located on the display window blinks
when reading or writing data from or to any of the P2 cards

cards are recordable. It stays off when none of the P2
cards are recordable.
