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 video 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.
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 STATUS
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

Slot 1 is removed and then re-inserted, the cards will be
used in the following order: 2

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.
