This screen shows the current drive is partition 01 of the internal hard disk and there
is no file recorded in the partition.
The internal hard disk has been formatted when shipped. So you can make recording
to the partition in this condition. The hard disk is divided into 16 partitions (approxi-
mately 4.5GB per partition). If you want to record a file to another partition, select the
desired partition by using the drive selection function (see page 86).
: If you make recording to a DVD-RAM disk, you must format the disk (see page
34) and select the DVD-RAM drive by using the drive selection function.
: When the power is being supplied from a battery, the [BATT1] or [BATT2]
indicator on the top panel lights, while the "POWER" area on the display shows "BATT1"
or "BATT2".
These depend on the settings of the "Active battery" and "Power priority" items in the
"BATTERY SETUP" menu of the MENU mode.
Battery indicators
When the power is being supplied from the [DC IN] connector, both battery indicators
on the top panel are unlit, while the "POWER" area on the display shows "DC-IN".
