Relay Recording And Double Slot Recording; Checking The Remaining Recording Time On Sd Cards - Canon XF705 Instruction Manual

Using SD Cards

Relay Recording and Double Slot Recording

The camcorder features two convenient recording methods that can be used when both SD card slots contain a
card: relay recording and double slot recording.
36
Relay recording: This function allows you to continue recording on the other card without interruption when the
card you are using becomes full. Relay recording is available from SD card slot A to SD card slot B, and vice
versa.
Double slot recording: This function records the same clip simultaneously to both cards, which is a convenient
way to make a backup copy of your recording while you record.
Operating modes:
To use relay recording
1 Select [Relay Recording].
> [Æ " Recording/Media Setup] > [Relay Recording]
2 Select [On] and then press SET.
To use double slot recording

• 4 appears at the top of the screen.
NOTES
• Relay recording is disabled (the camcorder will not switch to the other card) when slow motion recording is
activated.
• If an SD card becomes full during double slot recording, recording on both cards will stop. On the other hand,
if an error occurs with one of the SD cards, recording will continue on the other card.
• Double slot recording cannot be used together with relay recording or slow motion recording.

Checking the Remaining Recording Time on SD Cards

In mode, the display on the upper left of the screen shows the SD card icons and the remaining
recording time* (in minutes) on each card (A 45).
On the [Media] status screen (A 199), you can check the total space, used space, approximate remaining
recording time* and speed class of each card. For SD card B only, the approximate remaining number of photos
will be displayed as well.
* Remaining recording times are approximate and calculated based on the current video configuration used.
