Simultaneous recording

This function records the same image onto two microP2 memory cards when the two microP2 memory cards are inserted into two slots.
Start recording
Slot 1
A clip
A clip
Slot 2
Selecting [ON] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [SIMUL REC] will set the camera to simultaneous recording mode.
The remaining time that can be simultaneously recorded (the remaining time of the memory card that has less available recording space) is displayed in
the media remaining space indicator on the screen, and [SIMUL] is displayed.
When the microP2 memory card in the slot with less remaining recording space becomes full, simultaneous recording will stop.
When starting simultaneous recording again, replace the microP2 memory card in a slot with full capacity with a new microP2 memory card, and press
the <REC> button. When the simultaneous recording cannot be performed, [SIMUL] is displayed with a diagonal line.
If you press the <REC> button without replacing the microP2 memory card, normal recording will be performed on the microP2 memory card in slot 2
(the slot with remaining memory space).
For details on system modes in which simultaneous recording can be used, refer to the table in "System modes and recording functions" (page 78).
@ NOTE
t Start recording when two microP2 memory cards are recognized. When recording is started before both microP2 memory cards are recognized,
normal recording is performed using either microP2 memory card. The card status is checked after recording ends. At that time, if both cards are
recognized, simultaneous recording is performed.
t When the main menu → [SYSTEM MODE] → [LINE&FREQ] is set to [1080-59.94P], [1080-50P], or [1080-23.98PsF], simultaneous recording does
not operate.
t Simultaneous recording cannot be used together with loop recording, interval recording, one-shot recording, or dual codec recording.
t If recording stops because a recording malfunction occurs in one of the microP2 memory cards during simultaneous recording, the camera will
continue recording onto the other microP2 memory card. However, if the card is removed while being accessed, recording will stop.
t If there is space in one of the microP2 memory cards after simultaneous recording has ended, the microP2 memory card with space will automatically
be the recording target.
Press the <REC> button again to record normally.
t If only one microP2 memory card is inserted when simultaneous recording mode is set, the normal recording is performed.

Hot swap recording

When microP2 memory cards are inserted into two microP2 memory card slots, recording can be performed continuously across two cards.
Also, the card other than the one currently being recorded to can be swapped and recording can be continued on three or more cards (hot swap
recording).
Note, however, microP2 memory card recognition might slow down depending on the timing (immediately after pre-recording or before and after
continuous recording across two card slots) when the microP2 memory card is inserted into the vacant card slot. When inserting microP2 memory card,
make sure that there is at least one minute of free space on the card to be recorded to.
@ NOTE
t Change slots while recording is on stand-by. You cannot change slots during recording.
