Press the SLOT SELECT button.
• The access indicator of the selected CF card slot will illuminate in green. On the screen, the CF card selected
is indicated with a Ð mark next to CF card icon and in the rear panel, with a Î mark on top of the CF card
icon.
NOTES
• 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 using an optional WFT-E6 Wireless File Transmitter, you can also switch
between CF card slots remotely by pressing [SLOT SELECT] on the Wi-Fi
Remote screen.
Selecting the CF Card Recording Method
The camcorder features two useful CF card recording methods, relay recording and double slot recording.
Relay recording: This function 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 function 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.
To use relay recording
By default, this function is activated. If it has been deactivated, follow the
procedure below to activate it.
1 Open the [Relay Rec] submenu.
[w Other Functions] > [Relay Rec]
2 Select [On] and then press SET.
To use double slot recording
1 Open the [Double Slot Rec] submenu.
[w Other Functions] > [Double Slot Rec]
2 Select [On] and then press SET.
NOTES
• When the bit rate is set to 50 Mbps (A 59), relay recording is not
available during slow motion recording.
• If a CF 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.
• Double slot recording cannot be used with relay recording or slow & fast motion recording.
