Simultaneous recording

Insert SD cards into two card slots, and record the same video onto two SD cards.

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

[SIMUL] is displayed in the 2 slot function display of the VIEW screen and the special recording function display of the HOME screen.

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

Press the REC button.

The simultaneous recording will stop when remaining recordable capacity of one of the SD card is exhausted.
A diagonal line is displayed in the [SIMUL] display when simultaneous recording is not possible.
To start the simultaneous recording again, replace the SD card that has ran out of the remaining recordable capacity with another SD card, and press the REC button.
When the REC button is pressed without replacing the SD card, a standard recording to the SD card with remaining recordable capacity will be performed.

NOTE

It is recommended to use the SD cards with the same Speed Class or capacity for simultaneous recording.
The recording may stop due to insufficient speed when SD 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 two SD cards are recognized. When the recording is started before both SD cards are recognized, it will perform standard recording on one of the SD card that was recognized. The camera confirms the status of the SD 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 in one of the SD card is stopped with a recording error during the simultaneous recording, the recording to the other SD card will continue.
If there is remaining recordable capacity on one of the SD card after completing the simultaneous recording, the SD card with remaining recordable capacity will automatically become the recording target. Standard recording will start when the REC button is pressed.
If only one SD card is inserted even if it is set to simultaneous recording, it will perform standard 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 of the recording data”.
For recording limitation of the simultaneous recording, refer to “Recording function that cannot be used simultaneously”.
