Memory card slot operations
Using the memory card slot – introduction
About the remaining battery indicator
This camcorder displays remaining recording/playback time on the LCD screen or in the
viewfinder. This function may not work properly in certain operating conditions. Especially
when using the memory card slot, the correct remaining time may not be indicated due to
increased power consumption. This is not a malfunction.
Power supply
When using a video light (not supplied) or similar equipment connected to the intelligent
accessory shoe of the camcorder, recording an image to a floppy disk or PC card may result
in a temporary power shortage in the accessory shoe, causing the video light to go out. This
does not affect other functions.
When using a battery case
When using a battery case (not supplied) such as the EBP-L7, you cannot perform operations
that require the floppy disk adapter. The screen displays “FOR “InfoLITHIUM” BATTERY
ONLY.”
Note on playback compatibility
This camcorder is not guaranteed to properly play back images shot with other equipment.
The images shot with this camcorder are not guaranteed to be played back properly with
other equipment.
CAUTION
Do not insert your finger or an object into the memory card slot.
Connecting the floppy disk adapter or PC card
With the upper side of the connector facing the LCD panel, insert the connector until it
clicks.
