Switching Between the CF Card Slots
The camera features two CF card slots, CF
2
(CF card slot A) and CF
3
(CF card slot B). If both slots contain a CF card, you can switch between
them as necessary.
Press the SLOT SELECT button.
• The access indicator of the selected CF card slot will illuminate in green. On the screen, the CF card selected
is indicated with a
Ð
mark next to the CF card icon and in the rear panel, with a
Î
mark on top of the CF
card icon.
NOTES
• If both CF card slots contain a CF card and you open the cover of the selected
slot, the camera will automatically switch to the other slot.
• You cannot use the SLOT SELECT button to switch between CF card slots
while recording.
• When using an optional WFT-E6 Wireless File Transmitter, you can also switch
between CF card slots remotely by pressing [SLOT SELECT] on the Wi-Fi
Remote screen.
Selecting the CF Card Recording Method
The camera features two useful CF card recording methods, relay recording and double slot recording.
Relay recording: This function allows you to continue recording on another CF card without interruption if the CF
card you are using becomes full. Relay recording is available from CF card slot A to CF card slot B, and vice
versa.
Double slot recording: This function records the same clip simultaneously to both CF cards, which is a
convenient way to make a backup copy of your recording while you record.
