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 camerarecorder, see [Inspections Before Shooting] (page 147). Setting the switches before shooting and recording When a battery and P2 cards are installed, set the switches as detailed below, before starting to use your AG-HPX300P. Chapter 3 Recording and Playback Battery Set-up to P2 card Insertion 1 Insert a charged battery. 2 Turn the POWER switch to ON to check the battery remaining level in the viewfinder. • When battery capacity is low, replace it with a fully charged battery. NOTE When low battery capacity is indicated after replacing a battery with a fully charged battery, check battery installation. For details, refer to [BATTERY SETUP screen] (page 134). 3 Insert a P2 card, check that the P2 CARD ACCESS LED lights orange or green before closing the slot cover. • 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 the two slots contain P2 cards, the cards are used in order of slot numbers 12. However, if the P2 card in Slot 1 is removed and then reinserted, the cards will be used in the following order: 21. 1 2 Note that the recording order is retained even if the power is turned off.
