t In the following cases, it may take time to complete writing to the P2 card.
- Stopping of short-term recording
- When stopping recording immediately after recording is performed on the second P2 card
t If recording is not stopped even when the <REC> button is pressed, [REC PAUSE INVALID] is displayed at the center of the screen. Once stopping of
recording becomes possible, the message disappears.

cannot be stopped until the P2 card has been recognized.
Push the <DISP/MODE CHK> switch towards the <CHK> side and check the P2 card status on the [SLOT1], [SLOT2], and [SLOT3] rows displayed in

NOTE
t Recording starts from the beginning of a 4-frame cycle for 24PN (native recording) and 2-frame cycle for 30PN of 720P (native recording). Therefore,
the time code may become non-continuous when clips are recorded continuously in system modes with different recording cycles.
t Also immediately after inserting a P2 card or turning on the power, recording is started using the internal memory of the camera. In this case, recording
cannot be stopped until the P2 card has been recognized.
Push the <DISP/MODE CHK> switch towards the <CHK> side and check the P2 card status on the [SLOT1], [SLOT2], and [SLOT3] rows displayed in
the viewfinder.
