Using SD Cards Relay Recording and Double Slot Recording The camcorder features two convenient recording methods that can be used when both SD card slots contain a card: relay recording and double slot recording. 36 Relay recording: This function allows you to continue recording on the other card without interruption when the card you are using becomes full. Relay recording is available from SD card slot A to SD card slot B, and vice versa. Double slot recording: This function records the same clip simultaneously to both cards, which is a convenient way to make a backup copy of your recording while you record. Operating modes: To use relay recording 1 Select [Relay Recording]. > [Æ " Recording/Media Setup] > [Relay Recording] 2 Select [On] and then press SET. To use double slot recording 1 Select [Double Slot Recording]. > [Æ " Recording/Media Setup] > [Double Slot Recording] 2 Select [On] and then press SET. • 4 appears at the top of the screen. NOTES • Relay recording is disabled (the camcorder will not switch to the other card) when slow motion recording is activated. • If an SD 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 SD cards, recording will continue on the other card. • Double slot recording cannot be used together with relay recording or slow motion recording. • After saving to a computer MP4 relay clips that were originally recorded on different SD cards, you can use MP4 Join Tool to join the files and save them as a single clip (A 153). Checking the Remaining Recording Time on SD Cards In mode, the display on the upper left of the screen shows the SD card icons and the remaining recording time* (in minutes) on each card (A 45). On the [Media] status screen (A 201), you can check the total space, used space, approximate remaining recording time* and speed class of each card. For SD card B only, the approximate remaining number of photos will be displayed as well. * Remaining recording times are approximate and calculated based on the current video configuration used.
