  - Press the eject button that popped out to the upward.

Make sure that the P2 card access LED is lit orange or green. (Fig. 3) (P2 card access LEDs and status of P2 cards)

When two microP2 memory cards are inserted in the card slots, recording will be performed in order from the microP2 memory card with the smaller slot number. However, regardless of the slot number, if a microP2 memory card is inserted later, that microP2 memory card will be accessed later than the previously inserted microP2 memory cards.

- Example: When microP2 memory cards are inserted in two slots

  If microP2 memory cards are inserted into two slots, the cards are used as P2 card in the order of the slot number 1 → 2. However, if you remove the microP2 memory card from slot 1 and then insert it again, recording of the microP2 memory card will take place in order from slot 2 → 1.

The microP2 memory card number to be recorded to is maintained even if the camera is turned off. When the camera is next turned on, recording can be continued to the same microP2 memory card as before the camera was turned off.

Close the card slot cover.

NOTE

- You can also switch the memory card to be recorded by pressing the USER button on which [REC MEDIA] is assigned.

- Be sure to close the card slot cover in order to prevent dropping, dust, and static electricity.

- Be sure to format P2 cards only on a P2 device.

- A microP2 memory card with the microP2 card adaptor (AJ-P2AD1G) attached cannot be inserted into the P2 memory card slot on the camera.

- If SDHC/SDXC memory cards other than microP2 memory cards are used on the microP2 memory card slot, operation is not guaranteed.

- If a microP2 memory card is inserted slowly or there is dirt on the terminal of the card, [FORMAT ERROR!], [NOT SUPPORTED!], or [CHECK SLOT] (slot number) may be displayed. In such a case, insert the microP2 memory card again.
