Memory card recording time Start recording End recording Start recording End recording (no remaining space) Slot 1 A clip Stand-by B clip Slot 2 A clip Stand-by B clip C clip Selecting [ON] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [SIMUL REC] will set the camera to simultaneous recording mode. The remaining time that can be simultaneously recorded (the remaining time of the memory card that has less available recording space) is displayed in the media remaining space indicator on the screen, and [SIMUL] is displayed. When the microP2 memory card in the slot with less remaining recording space becomes full, simultaneous recording will stop. When starting simultaneous recording again, replace the microP2 memory card in a slot with full capacity with a new microP2 memory card, and press the REC button. When the simultaneous recording cannot be performed, [SIMUL] indication is displayed with a diagonal line. If you press the REC button without replacing the microP2 memory card, normal recording will be performed on the microP2 memory card in slot 2 (the slot with remaining memory space). For details on system modes in which simultaneous recording can be used, refer to the table in "System modes and recording functions" (page 76). @@NOTE tt Start recording when two microP2 memory cards are recognized. When recording is started before both microP2 memory cards are recognized, normal recording is performed using either microP2 memory card. The card status is checked after recording ends. At that time, if both cards are recognized, simultaneous recording is performed. tt When the main menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [LINE&FREQ] is set to [1080‑59.94P], [1080‑50P], or [1080‑23.98PsF], and [REC FORMAT] is set to [AVC‑I200], simultaneous recording is not performed. tt Simultaneous recording cannot be used together with loop recording, interval recording, one-shot recording, or dual codec recording. tt If recording stops because a recording malfunction occurs in one of the microP2 memory cards during simultaneous recording, the camera will continue recording onto the other microP2 memory card. However, if the card is removed while accessing, recording will stop. tt If there is space in one of the microP2 memory cards after simultaneous recording has ended, the microP2 memory card with space will automatically be the recording target. Press the REC button again to record normally. tt If only one microP2 memory card is inserted when simultaneous recording mode is set, the camera will record normally. tt The final clip delete function after simultaneous recording is disabled. Background recording If microP2 cards are inserted in two slots, set the background recording mode and then press the recording button to start recording simultaneously on slot 1 and 2. On slot 1, recording can be repeatedly started and stopped as necessary by operating the recording button. On slot 2, the recording operation continues as background recording. By performing background recording on slot 2, you will not miss important scenes while recording is stopped. For details on system modes in which background recording can be used, refer to the table in "System modes and recording functions" (page 76). - 70 -
