Simultaneous recording

This function records the same image onto two microP2 memory cards when the two microP2 memory cards are inserted into two slots.

Selecting [ON] in the main menu → [RECORDING SETUP] → [SIMUL REC] will set the camera to simultaneous recording mode.

The remaining time that can be simultaneously recorded (the remaining time of the memory card that has less available recording space) is displayed in the media remaining space indicator on the screen, and [SIMUL] is displayed.

When the microP2 memory card in the slot with less remaining recording space becomes full, simultaneous recording will stop.

When starting simultaneous recording again, replace the microP2 memory card in a slot with full capacity with a new microP2 memory card, and press the <REC> button. When the simultaneous recording cannot be performed, [SIMUL] is displayed with a diagonal line.

If you press the <REC> button without replacing the microP2 memory card, normal recording will be performed on the microP2 memory card in slot 2 (the slot with remaining memory space).

For details on system modes in which simultaneous recording can be used, refer to the table in “System modes and recording functions”.

NOTE

Start recording when two microP2 memory cards are recognized. When recording is started before both microP2 memory cards are recognized, normal recording is performed using either microP2 memory card. The card status is checked after recording ends. At that time, if both cards are recognized, simultaneous recording is performed.
Simultaneous recording cannot be used together with loop recording, interval recording, one-shot recording, or dual codec recording.
If recording stops because a recording malfunction occurs in one of the microP2 memory cards during simultaneous recording, the camera will continue recording onto the other microP2 memory card. However, if the card is removed while being accessed, recording will stop.
If there is space in one of the microP2 memory cards after simultaneous recording has ended, the microP2 memory card with space will automatically be the recording target.
Press the <REC> button again to record normally.
If only one microP2 memory card is inserted when simultaneous recording mode is set, the normal recording is performed.
