Dual codec recording

Recording in different formats for main recording and sub recording can be performed on the camera.
For sub recording, you can select HD proxy in AVC-LongG 6 format with 1920×1080 resolution, or multiple SD proxies with different resolution. For
details on recording formats available for dual codec recording, refer to "Multi formats" (page 53).
Video can be saved in high-resolution H.264/AVC format as well as MPEG4 format. For audio, besides AAC format, uncompressed audio (LPCM) is
supported.
In addition to the traditional MPEG4 format, the MOV format more suitable for nonlinear editing is available.
Video files, audio files, and real-time metadata file (time code, user bits) can be recorded to the P2 card and SD memory card at the same time.
The recorded materials can be saved as a smaller data file to allow efficient clip check or editing.
