 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 viewfinder 
displays “TURN POWER OFF” and the AG-HPX370P/AG-
HPX371E gives a warning using an alarm and the WARNING 
LED. 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 161).
• 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 118).
• If a P2 card being formatted is removed, it may be not be 
formatted properly. In this case, the viewfinder displays 
“TURN POWER OFF”. If this message appears, turn off the 
power, then restart the AG-HPX370P/AG-HPX371E to reformat 
the card.
• If a P2 card is inserted while another P2 card is being played 
back, the inserted P2 card is not recognised and the P2 
CARD ACCESS LED for that card does not come on. Card 
recognition starts when playback ends.
• A P2 card inserted in an empty slot during recording may not 
be immediately recognized during the following events.
  • Immediately following PRE REC operation
• The 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.
