Switching Between Memory Cards
When two memory cards are inserted, you can press the [Slot Select] button on the playback control panel of the Web App to switch memory cards.
Hint
- You can also press the SLOT SEL (memory card slot (A)/(B) select) button on the supplied infrared remote control to switch memory cards.
About relay recording
When recording, the unit automatically switches to the second memory card just before the remaining capacity on the first card is reduced to zero (relay recording). You can continue recording continuously when switching memory cards by replacing the memory card that is full with a new memory card.
Note
- You cannot switch between memory cards during playback mode. Also, continuous playback of a clip spanning media in slot A and slot B is not supported.
About recorded data
When you stop recording, the video, audio, and accompanying data from the start to the end of the recording are saved as a single “clip” on a memory card.
Clip name of recorded data
The name of each clip recorded by the unit is automatically assigned using [TC/Media] > [Clip Name Format] in the camera menu.
Maximum clip duration
Up to 6 hours per clip.
The maximum duration of continuous recording is the same as the maximum duration of a clip. If the recording time exceeds the maximum duration of a clip, a new clip is created automatically and recording continues. The new clip appears as a separate clip on the thumbnail screen.
Multiple clips are recorded in succession during relay recording, but recording will stop automatically after approximately 24 hours.
Note
- Do not eject a memory card while recording to it is in progress. When recording, only change memory cards in slots for which the slot access indicator is off.
- When the remaining capacity on the memory card being recorded becomes less than one minute and a recordable memory card is inserted in the other slot, a “Will Switch Slots Soon” message appears. The message disappears after switching memory card slots.
- Relay recording may not operate if recording is started when the remaining memory card capacity is less than one minute. For correct relay recording, check that the remaining memory card capacity is more than one minute before starting recording.
- Video created using the relay recording function of the unit cannot be played back seamlessly on the unit.
- To combine video created using the relay recording function of the unit, use “Catalyst Browse” software.
