Dual Video REC

You can set the dual recording mode (recording an MP4 movie during movie recording) to on or off.

[Dual Video REC] is the system to record MP4 movies simultaneously when recording XAVC S movies or AVCHD movies. MP4 files are suitable for posting on the Web and they are convenient for sharing movies soon after you record them.

When you create a highlight movie, you need to set [Dual Video REC] to [On] because the highlight movie is created by the Highlight Movie Maker, which uses the MP4 movie recorded simultaneously. (In the default setting, [On] is set.)

Hint

  • XAVC S or AVCHD is the file format suitable for copying images to Blu-ray discs or creating Blu-ray discs. MP4 is the file format suitable for posting on the Web.
  • If you connect this product to your smartphone via Wi-Fi, you can transfer MP4 movies to the smartphone with Imaging Edge Mobile. It is easy to share your emotion from anywhere, anytime.
  • When [Dual Video REC] is set to [On], the expected recording time of XAVC S/AVCHD movies becomes shorter because MP4 movies are recorded simultaneously and a lot of space of the internal memory (models with the internal memory) or memory card is used. Recording time will increase if [Off] is set, but highlight movies cannot be made by the Highlight Movie Maker.
  • To delete MP4 movies that have recorded simultaneously, touch on the Event View screen and switch the movie format to be deleted to MP4.
