Chapter 3 Recording and Playback
NOTE
• When a P2 card is being accessed or recognised after
insertion (P2 card access LED blinks in orange), do not
remove the P2 card. Removing a P2 card during access could
damage it.
• If a P2 card being accessed is removed, the LCD monitor
and viewfinder display “TURN POWER OFF” and the camera
gives a warning using an alarm and the WARNING lamp. In
addition, all P2 card access LEDs blink rapidly in orange. If
this is the case, turn the power off.
For details, refer to [Warning System] (page 127).
• Removing a P2 card during access may corrupt clip data.
Check the clips and restore them if required.
For details, refer to [Restoring Clips] (page 96).
• If a P2 card being formatted is removed, it may be not
be formatted properly. In this case, the LCD monitor and
viewfinder display “TURN POWER OFF.” If this message
appears, turn off the power, then restart the camera to
reformat the card.
• The P2 card access LED can be set to stay off in the menu
option ACCESS LED in the OTHER FUNCTIONS screen.
When the camera is used in this way, remove cards when the
camera has been powered down or a sufficiently long time
after terminating recording, playback and other operating
modes.
• Removing a P2 card during thumbnail display terminates the
thumbnail display.
