Recording and Playback: Basic Procedures
Recording and Playback
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 unit, see [Inspections Before
Shooting] (page 148).
1 Insert a charged battery pack.
2 Turn on the POWER switch and ensure that more than
5 segments of the battery-remaining amount indication
bar are illuminated.
If the number of illuminated segments is fewer than 5,
first check the battery setting. If setting is not the
problem, replace the battery with a fully charged one.
3 Insert a P2 card and ensure that the P2 card access
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 5 slots contain P2 cards, the cards are used in
order of slot numbers 12345. However, if the P2
card in slot 1 is removed and then re-inserted, the cards
will be used in the following order: 23451.
Note that the number of the P2 card to which recording is in
progress will be retained even when the power is turned off.
When the power is next turned on, the last card written
before powering-down will be the target card.
Note
When “SLOT1” is selected for the menu option P.ON REC
SLOT SEL, recording starts from the P2 card inserted in the
smallest slot number, after the power is turned on.
This option is found in the <REC FUNCTION> screen on the
SYSTEM SETTING page.
When a battery and P2 cards are installed, set the switches
as detailed below, before starting to use your unit.
Setting the switches before shooting and recording
Notes
If the SLOT SEL function is assigned to the USER MAIN
button or other user button, the button can be used to
select a P2 card recording target from among multiple
inserted P2 cards.
When a new target P2 card is selected, the appropriate
slot number appears on the P2 card remaining amount
indicator in the viewfinder.
For more information about the indications in the
viewfinder, see [Viewfinder Status Indication Layout]
(page 75).
SLOT SEL function is enabled during recording. Until the
P2 card on which images are recorded has been switched
completely, “SLOT SEL” blinks on the viewfinder. If the
SLOT SEL operation cannot be executed for any reason,
for instance immediately after starting recording or
switching the P2 card on which images are recorded,
“SLOT SEL INVALID” is displayed.
