Using Two Memory Cards

When two memory cards are inserted in the camera, you can
choose one as the primary card using the Primary slot
selection item in the photo shooting menu. Select XQD card
slot to designate the card in the XQD card slot as the primary
card, SD card slot to choose the SD card. The roles played by the
primary and secondary cards can be chosen using the
Secondary slot function option in the photo shooting menu.
Choose from Overflow (the secondary card is used only when
the primary card is full), Backup (each picture is recorded to
both the primary and secondary card), and RAW primary - JPEG
secondary (as for Backup, except that the NEF/RAW copies of
photos shot at settings of NEF/RAW + JPEG are recorded only to
the primary card and the JPEG copies only to the secondary
card).
