Recording continuously when changing
memory cards (Relay Rec)

and B, recording automatically switches to the
second memory card just before the remaining

Notes
• Do not eject a memory card while recording to it is in
progress. Only change memory cards in slots for which
the slot access indicator is off.
• When the remaining capacity on the memory card
being recorded becomes less than one minute and a
recordable memory card is inserted in the other slot, a
"Will Switch Slots Soon" message appears. The
message disappears after switching memory card slots.
• Relay recording may not operate if recording is started
when the remaining memory card capacity is less than
one minute. For correct relay recording, check that the
remaining memory card capacity is more than one
minute before starting recording.
• Video created using the camcorder relay recording
function cannot be played back seamlessly on the
camcorder.
• To combine video created using the camcorder relay
recording function, use Content Browser software.
