Simul Rec - Panasonic AG-AC160A Operating Instructions Manual

SIMUL REC

When memory cards are inserted in both of the two slots, activating this function enables recording the
same video to both the memory cards. Set the [SIMUL REC] item on the setup menu [RECORDING
SETUP] screen to [ON] to enter the SIMUL REC mode.
In the media capacity display on the screen, the available recording time possible for SIMUL REC (the
available recording time of the memory card with lower memory capacity) is displayed, and the icon
[ ] is displayed.
• Recording stops when one of the memory cards in Slot 1 or Slot 2 has no remaining space.
(The following figure shows the case that the memory card in Slot 1 becomes full.)
