Preparing Recording Media Preparations 2 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.
