Relay recording: This allows you to continue recording on another SD card if the SD card you are using becomes full. Relay recording is available from SD card slot A to SD card slot B, and vice versa.
Double slot recording: This records the same clip simultaneously to both SD cards, which is a convenient way to make a backup copy of your recording while you record.

NOTES
•During relay recording, there will be a very brief stop at the point where
the recording switches to the other SD card. With the supplied software, Data Import Utility, you can join relay clips recorded on two SD cards and save them on a computer (A117).
•If an SD card becomes full during double slot recording, recording on both SD cards will stop. On the other hand, if an error occurs with one of the SD cards, recording will continue on the other SD card.
•Double slot recording cannot be used with relay recording,
