Relay recording

When memory cards are inserted into the card slot 2 and the card slot 3, recording can continue on the other memory card if the remaining recording capacity for one of the memory card is exhausted.

During recording
Automatically switch the recording target card slot
Replace with a different recordable memory card

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

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

A slanted line is displayed on the [RELAY] display when the relay 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 recording target switches to another memory card when the remaining recording capacity of one of the memory cards is exhausted during recording and relay recording starts. The number of the card slot that became the recording target is displayed with black and white inverted. Recording can be performed on three or more memory cards. Replace the memory card with no more remaining recording capacity after the recording target has switched.
To change the recording target card slot before starting the recording, press the USER button assigned to [SLOT SEL]. This will not operate during recording.

NOTE

It may take some time to recognize the memory card when the memory card is inserted. When recording to three or more memory cards by replacing a memory card while recording, replace the memory card with remaining capacity sufficiently left on the memory card that is recording.
The recording target cannot be switched when the remaining capacity of the relay memory card is less than one minute.
The maximum continuous recording time for relay recording is ten hours.
The recording is stopped once when the recording time of relay recording exceeds ten hours. The recording is automatically resumed after few seconds.
For recording limitations of the relay recording, refer to “Recording function that cannot be used simultaneously”.
Relay recording is not possible between card slot 1 and card slot 2 or card slot 3.
A clip recorded on three or more memory cards in succession through swapping them cannot be played back continuously.
