Background recording

If the memory cards are inserted into two card slots, set the background recording mode and then press the REC button to start recording simultaneously on card slot 1 and card slot 2. On card slot 1, recording can be repeatedly started and stopped as necessary by operating the REC button. On card slot 2, the recording operation continues as background recording.

By performing background recording on card slot 2, you will not miss important scenes while recording is stopped.

For recording limitations of background recording, refer to “Recording function that cannot be used simultaneously”.
