2-slot continuous recording

If you insert two P2 cards into the two card slots, this function allows you to record continuously on the two cards.

You can also record continuously on three or more cards by replacing one card while data is being recorded on the other. (Hot swap recording) However, depending on when the P2 card is inserted into an empty slot (immediately after prerecording, or before or after continuous recording spanning two slots), there may be a delay in recognizing the P2 card.

We recommend inserting the P2 card while there is at least one minute remaining on the card that is recording.

You can change the slot for recording with one touch if you press a USER button to which the SLOT SEL has been allocated.

“Using the USER buttons” (Page 39)

You cannot change slots while recording so do this during recording standby.

Does not support hot swap playback.

Shot mark function

The marks attached to the thumbnails of clips are called shot marks. On the thumbnail screen monitor you can select only those clips with a shot mark and display them or play them back.

“Switching the thumbnail display” (Page 80) During recording, when you press the USER button to which the SHOT MARK function has been allocated, MARK ON appears in the LCD monitor or the viewfinder, and a shot mark is set for the thumbnail of the clip being recorded. If you press the button again, the shot mark is released.

“Using the USER buttons” (Page 39)

A shot mark added during a pause after recording is added to the most recently recorded clip.

Shot marks can be added also in the thumbnail display.

The shot mark function is not available during loop recording, interval recording and one-shot recording. When this function is not available, pressing this button displays SHOT MARK INVALID.

Shot marks can be set or cancelled in playback pause mode but not during playback.

Shot marks cannot be set or deleted for video data created in a single hot-swap recording session consisting of multiple clips unless all the P2 cards that contain the video data for the entire session are inserted. In clips that consist of multiple clips like the one above, shot marks can be added only to the first clip of video data.
