Note :

To perform recording in the Dual Rec mode, it is recommended that you start recording by making use of two cards with the same capacity and from the formatted state.

You can combine the use of the Dual Rec mode with a special recording mode. While in the Dual Rec mode, you can also set [Rec Mode] to ANormalB, APre RecB, AClip ContinuousB, AFrame RecB, or AInterval RecB.

( A Page 45 [Special Recording]) ( A Page 64 [Rec Mode])

When both the slots are loaded with recordable cards, the Dual Rec (simultaneous recording) operation can be performed. If a recordable media is only loaded to one of the slots, you can also start recording with one card.

In the Dual Rec mode, continuous recording by switching from one slot to another cannot be performed. Continuous recording will not be performed if a recordable media is loaded to a slot after recording to the other slot has started.

When recording to one slot is in progress with the recorder set to the Dual Rec mode, loading a recordable media to the other slot does not enable the Dual Rec operation. To perform the Dual Rec operation, stop recording temporarily (excluding pausing recording in the Clip Continuous Rec mode), and start again.

When one of the cards is accidentally removed while the Dual Rec operation is in progress, recording to the card in the other slot will continue. However, repair of the accidentally removed card by the recovery function may fail.

If an error occurs on one of the cards while the Dual Rec operation is in progress, recording of the erroneous card stops, while that of the other card continues.

Operations on clips recorded in the Dual Rec mode, such as clip deletion in the Media mode or appending of OK marks, can only be performed on the card in the selected slot.

Memo :

During the Backup Rec mode (when [Slot Mode] is set to ABackupB), you can control recording to the 2 slots at different timings, and backup recording can only be performed on this camera recorder.

( A Page 64 [Slot Mode])

You can record without worrying about missing the important scenes by setting slot B to be always recording (backup recording) and using the [REC] button to start/stop recording of only the required scenes in slot A.

It is recommended to use a media with high capacity in slot B.
