Selecting the SxS Memory Card to
Use
Switching using the SLOT SELECT button
You can switch between slot A and slot B using
the SLOT SELECT button. Both left and right
slots are switched.
Note
If only one memory card is inserted in the left slots (A or
B), you cannot switch between slots using the SLOT
SELECT button, except under the following conditions.
• When recording to media in the right slots
• When displaying the all clip thumbnails screen for
media in right slots
If there is no memory card inserted in either left
slots and memory cards are inserted in both right
slots (A and B), then pressing the SLOT SELECT
button will switch between slot A and slot B on
the right side.
Switching when a memory card is full
If a memory card becomes full while recording,
the camcorder automatically switches between
slots A and B. If recording to both left and right
slots, slots A and B are switched on both the left
and right sides.
When memory card is full on one side only
When recording to the A slots on both the left and
right sides and either of these memory cards
becomes full, the camcorder switches and
continues recording to the B slots if there is
recordable media in both B slots. If either of the
memory cards in the B slots on the left or right
side is not recordable, then either recording
continues on the slot A card that is not full or
recording stops on both left and right sides,
according to the setting using OPERATION
>Format >3D Single Rec in the setup menu.
When recording to memory cards on one side
only
When recording to slot A on the left side and the
memory card becomes full, the camcorder
switches recording to slot B on the left side if the
memory card is recordable. If the only recordable
memory card is in slot B on the right side,
recording stops.
