After insertion, do not remove the P2 card while it is being accessed or recognized (the P2 card access LED is flashing orange). Doing so may result in a malfunction.
If the P2 card is removed while being accessed, [TURN POWER OFF] is displayed on the viewfinder screen, and the camera gives out a warning indication by an alarm, <WARNING> lamp, etc. All P2 card access LEDs flash rapidly in orange. Turn off the power. (Warning system)
If the P2 card is removed while being accessed, clips on it may become irregular. Check the clips and restore them, if required. (Restoring clips)
If the P2 card being formatted is removed, formatting of the P2 card is not guaranteed. In this case, [TURN POWER OFF] is displayed on the viewfinder screen displays. Turn off the power then back on again, and reformat the P2 card.
If a P2 card is inserted into another slot during playback, the inserted card is not recognized and the P2 card access LED does not light. The P2 card starts to be recognized when playback ends.
Even if a P2 card is inserted in a vacant card slot during recording, the P2 card may not be recognized immediately in the following instance:
- Immediately after a pre-recording
- Immediately after a recording slot is switched
The P2 card access LED can be set to off at all times in the main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC/PB SETUP] → [ACCESS LED]. In this case, turn off the power before removing the card, or, after the card is inserted or after operation (recording, playback, etc.) has stopped, and wait for the charging to complete before removing the card.
