Item

Description of settings

[REC MEDIA]

Selects the slot for the media to be recorded.

[microP2]: Uses microP2 memory cards (slots 1 and 2).

[P2]: Uses P2 memory card (card slot 3).

  • Factory setting: [microP2]

[FILE SPLIT]

Selects the split method of the recording file.

[ONE FILE]: The clip is recorded in one file in the AVC-LongG format to a microP2 memory card (exceeding 32 GB).

[SPLIT]: The clip is split every 4 GB regardless of the recording format.

[SHORT SPLIT]: The clip is split every 128 seconds regardless of the recording format.

  • Factory setting: [SPLIT]

If the clip is recorded in one file, it cannot be copied to a P2 memory card or 32 GB microP2 memory card, or copied or exported to storage.

When [ONE FILE] is selected, proxy recording is not possible. Also, when the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [DUAL CODEC SETTING] → [CODEC USAGE] is set to [PROXY REC(P2)] or [PROXY REC(P2&SD)], [ONE FILE] cannot be selected.

It will be divided to recording files of approximately 128 seconds when [SHORT SPLIT] is selected, but they can be operated as a single clip when the thumbnail of the clips are operated on the P2 device. A single continuous recording time is approximately 3.5 hours. [SHORT SPLIT] is disabled in interval, one-shot, loop, and background recording modes.
