Select the [RECORDING] menu → [2 SLOTS FUNC.] → [SIMUL REC].

[SIMUL] is displayed in the two slot function display of the camera image screen.

A slanted line is displayed on the [SIMUL] display when the simultaneous recording is not possible, such as when a memory card is not inserted in either of the two card slots.

Press the <REC> button.

- The simultaneous recording will stop when the remaining capacity of one of the memory cards is exhausted.

  A slanted line is displayed in the [SIMUL] display when simultaneous recording is not possible.

  To start the simultaneous recording again, replace the memory card that has run out of remaining capacity with another memory card, and then press the <REC> button.

- When the <REC> button is pressed without replacing the memory card, standard recording is performed to the memory card with remaining capacity.

NOTE

- Use of memory cards with the same Speed Class or capacity for simultaneous recording is recommended.

  The recording may stop due to insufficient speed when memory cards with different Speed Classes or capacities are used. If the recording is stopped, the video right before stopping may become invalid recording.

- Start the recording after both of the two memory cards have been recognized. When the recording starts before both memory cards are recognized, the camera performs standard recording on one of the memory cards that has been recognized. The camera confirms the status of the memory card every time the recording is completed. If both cards are recognized at that time, it will perform the simultaneous recording from the next recording.

- When recording to one of the memory cards stops due to a recording error during simultaneous recording, recording to the other memory card continues.

- If there is remaining recording capacity on one of the memory cards after completing the simultaneous recording, the memory card with remaining recording capacity automatically becomes the recording target. Standard recording will start when the <REC> button is pressed.

- Standard recording is performed when only one memory card is inserted even if the camera is set to simultaneous recording.

- Once the simultaneous recording is completed, [DEL LAST CLIP] (final clip delete function) assigned to the USER button will not operate.

- For the folder name and the file name when performing simultaneous recording in MOV format, refer to “Handling recording data”.

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