Also, the card other than the one currently being recorded to can be swapped and recording can be continued on two or more cards. (hot swap

Note, however, P2 card recognition might slow down depending on the timing (immediately after pre-recording or before and after continuous recording
across two card slots) that the P2 card is inserted into the vacant card slot. When inserting a P2 card, make sure that there is at least one minute of free
space on the card to be recorded to.
