Preparing Recording Media

• If both CF card slots contain a CF card and you open the cover of the
selected slot, the camcorder will automatically switch to the other slot.
• You cannot use the SLOT SELECT button to switch between CF card
slots while recording.
• When the bit rate is set to 50 Mbps (0 53) during slow motion
recording, relay recording is not available.

Selecting the CF Card Recording Method

The camcorder features two useful CF card recording methods, relay
recording and double slot recording.
Relay recording: This allows you to continue recording on another CF
card without interruption if the CF card you are using becomes full. Relay
recording is available from CF card slot A to CF card slot B, and vice
versa.
Double slot recording: This records the same clip simultaneously to both
CF cards, which is a convenient way to make a backup copy of your
recording while you record.

the cards, recording will continue on the other card.
