Switching Between the CF Card Slots

The camcorder features two CF card slots, CFj (CF card slot A) and 
CFl (CF card slot B). If both slots contain a CF card, you can switch 
between them as necessary. In addition, if the CF card you are using 
becomes full while recording, the recording will continue uninterrupted on 
the other CF card (relay recording). Relay recording is available from CF 
card slot A to CF card slot B, and vice versa.

Press the SLOT SELECT button.

• The access indicator of the selected CF card slot will illuminate in 

green.

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
