Set whether to use the microP2 memory card slot or the P2 memory card slot.

Select [REC MEDIA] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP].

Select [microP2] when using a microP2 memory card and select [P2] when using a P2 memory card.

Open the card slot cover. (Fig. 1)

Insert a card into the card slot.

  • P2 memory cards

    • Insert the card with the logo facing upwards until the eject button pops out. (Fig. 2)

    • Press the eject button that pops up to the right. (Fig. 3)

  • microP2 memory cards

    • Insert with the label side facing up.

    • There are two microP2 memory card slots.

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 microP2 memory card to be recorded in the order of the slot number 1 → 2. However, if the microP2 memory card in the slot number 1 is removed once and then inserted again, the cards are used as microP2 memory card to be recorded in the order of the slot number 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.
