tt The [SLOT SEL] function is assigned to the <USER MAIN> button in the factory setting. You can switch to the P2 card to be recorded from two or more inserted P2 cards.

When the P2 to record to is switched, the number of the card slot in which the P2 card to be recorded to is inserted is displayed on the P2 remaining card capacity indicator in the viewfinder. (For details on indications in the viewfinder, refer to “Configuration of status display on viewfinder screen” (page 70).)

If the card could not be switched immediately after recording is started or immediately after the P2 card is switched, [SLOT SEL INVALID] will be displayed.
