Simultaneous recording

This function records the same video onto two P2 cards when the two P2 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 P2 card in the slot with less remaining recording space becomes full, simultaneous recording stops.
When starting simultaneous recording again, replace the P2 card in the slot with full capacity with a new P2 card, and press the <REC> button. When
the simultaneous recording cannot be performed, [SIMUL] indication is displayed with a diagonal line.
If you press the <REC> button without replacing the P2 card, normal recording will be performed on the P2 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 71).
@
NOTE
t Start recording when two P2 cards are recognized. When recording is started before both P2 cards are recognized, standard recording is performed
using the P2 card that has been recognized. 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 [1080-59.94i/P], [1080-50i/P], or [1080-23.98PsF], simultaneous recording is not
performed.
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 P2 cards during simultaneous recording, the camera will continue recording
onto the other P2 card. However, if the card is removed while being accessed, recording will stop.
t If there is space in one of the P2 cards after simultaneous recording has ended, the P2 card with more space will automatically be the recording target.
Press the <REC> button again to record normally.
t If only one P2 card is inserted when simultaneous recording mode is set, the camera will start standard recording.

Hot swap recording

When P2 cards are inserted in two P2 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 that P2 card recognition may take time depending on the timing when the P2 card is inserted into the vacant card slot (immediately after pre-
recording or before and after continuous recording across two card slots). When inserting a P2 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.
