Preparing Recording Media

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 the bit rate is set to 50 Mbps (0 53) during slow motion 

recording, relay recording is not available. 

Selecting the CF Card Recording Method

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

Relay recording: This 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 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

NOTES

• When the bit rate is set to 50 Mbps (0 53) during slow motion 

recording, relay recording is not available.

• If a CF card becomes full during double slot recording, recording on 

both cards will stop. On the other hand, if an error occurs with one of 
the cards, recording will continue on the other card.

• Double slot recording cannot be used with relay recording or slow & 

fast motion recording.
