Relay Recording And Double Slot Recording; Checking The Remaining Recording Time On A Card - Canon EOS C500 Mark II Instruction Manual

Relay Recording and Double Slot Recording

In CAMERA mode, the camera features two convenient recording methods that can be used when both
CFexpress card slots contain a card: relay recording and double slot recording.
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 CFexpres card slot A to CFexpress card slot B, and vice versa.
However, relay recording is disabled (the camera will not switch to the other card) when slow & fast motion
recording is activated.
Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Relay Recording] > [On].
• Both CFexpress card icons will turn green.
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 recordings while you record.
This function cannot be used together with relay recording or slow & fast motion recording.
Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Double Slot Recording] > [On].
• 4 appears at the top of the screen and both CFexpress card icons turn green.
NOTES
• If a 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 cards, recording will continue on the other card.
• When using network functions, relay recording and double slot recording will be disabled while a connection
setting (SET file) is selected and the camera is connected to a network.

Checking the Remaining Recording Time on a Card

In CAMERA mode, the display on the upper left of the screen shows the card icons and the remaining recording
time* (in minutes) on each card (A 54).
On the [Æ Recording/Media Setup] status screen (A 197), you can check the total space, used space and
approximate remaining recording time* of each card. For the SD card only, the approximate remaining number of
photos and speed class will be displayed as well.
* Remaining recording times are approximate and calculated based on the current video configuration used.
