Preparing Recording Media

NOTES

• While recording on a CF card, you can initialize another CF card in the other CF card slot.

• If you set an assignable button to [Initialize Media] (A 111), you can press the button to open the initialization

submenu.

Switching Between the CF Card Slots

The camcorder features two CF card slots, CF2 (CF card slot A) and
CF3 (CF card slot B). If both slots contain a CF card, you can switch
between them as necessary.

Press the SLOT SELECT button.

• The access indicator of the selected CF card slot will illuminate in green. On the screen, the CF card selected

is indicated with a Ð mark next to CF card icon and in the rear panel, with a Î mark on top of the CF card
icon.

NOTES

• If both CF card slots contain a CF card and you open the cover of the selected

slot, the camcorder will automatically switch to the other slot.

• You cannot use the SLOT SELECT button to switch between CF card slots

while recording.

• When using an optional WFT-E6 Wireless File Transmitter, you can also switch

between CF card slots remotely by pressing [SLOT SELECT] on the Wi-Fi
Remote screen.

Selecting the CF Card Recording Method

The camcorder features two useful CF card recording methods, relay recording and double slot recording.

Relay recording: This function allows you to continue recording on another CF card without interruption if the CF
card you are using becomes full. Relay recording is available from CF card slot A to CF card slot B, and vice
versa.

Double slot recording: This function records the same clip simultaneously to both CF cards, which is a
convenient way to make a backup copy of your recording while you record.

To use relay recording

By default, this function is activated. If it has been deactivated, follow the
