3-2 Basic Procedures
This section describes the basic procedure for shooting and
recording. Before you embark on a shoot, pre-inspect your
system to ensure that it works properly.
* For directions on inspecting your memory card camera-recorder,
see [7-1 Inspections Before Shooting].
Battery Set-up to P2 card Insertion
1
Insert a charged battery pack.
2
Turn on the POWER switch and ensure that more than
four segments of the battery-remaining amount
indication bar are illuminated.
z
If the number of illuminated segments is fewer than
five, first check the battery placement. If placement is
not the problem, replace the battery with a fully
charged one.
3
Insert a P2 card and ensure that the P2 CARD
ACCESS LED stays on in orange or green. Then, close
the slide-out door.
When more than one P2 card slot contains a P2 card,
the card in the slot with the lowest number is used first.
However, regardless of slot number, a P2 card inserted
later will not be accessed until the other cards have
been used.
Example:
If all five slots contain P2 cards, the cards are used in
order of slot numbers 1
2
3
4
5. However, if the
P2 card in Slot 1 is removed and then re-inserted, the
cards will be used in the following order:
2
3
4
5
1.
Note that the recording order is retained even if the power is
turned off. When the power is next turned on, the last card
written before powering-down will be the target card.
<Note>
When “SLOT1” is selected for the menu option P.ON REC
SLOT SEL, recording starts from the P2 card inserted in the
smallest slot number, after the power is turned on.
This option is found in the REC FUNCTION screen on the
SYSTEM SETTING page.
Switch Setting
When a battery and P2 cards are installed, set the switches
as detailed below, before starting to use your AJ-SPC700P.
Setting the switches before shooting and recording
<Notes>
z
The USER MAIN button is factory-set to perform the slot
selection function, which selects the target card from
among several P2 cards.
When a new target P2 card is selected, the appropriate
slot number appears on the P2 card remaining amount
indicator in the viewfinder.
For more information about the indications in the
viewfinder, see [4-7-2 Viewfinder Status Indication
Layout].
z
SLOT SEL function is enabled during recording; however,
a few seconds are required for switching slots. When the
target P2 card is switched during recording, further
switching to a different P2 card cannot be accepted for
over ten seconds after the first switch.
z
The ability to switch to a different target P2 card using the
SLOT SEL function is not available over ten seconds after
recording starts.
z
When a Voice Memo is recorded simultaneously with the
video and sound, video and sound recording continues
after switching of the target P2 card using the SLOT SEL
function; however, Voice Memo recording stops.
