for Movies] > The Internal Memory Icon (to go from internal to card slot A, or both) or [A] (to go
from A to B slots).
3. Touch the desired option and then touch [X]
Any of the following actions will deactivate the relay recording function:
• Turning off the Camcorder.
• Opening the double memory card slot cover.
• Changing the position of the mode switch.
• Changing the camcorder's operating mode.
• Changing the memory used for recording movies.
I recommend using relay recording when you are out filming your hunt. A) Until you run
out of memory on the internal, A and B memory cards you will not have to fidget with
turning your camera off, and switching out memory cards. This cuts down on time and
sound, both critical to hunting situations. Remember to reset the relay recording if you
do any of the things mentioned above!
Double Slot Recording:
Double slot recording allows you to record the same scene simultaneously to both memory cards.
This is a convenient way to make a backup copy of your recording while you record.
1. Insert Memory Cards into memory card slot A and memory card slot B.
2. Open the [Rec Media for Movies] screen (directions above)
3. Activate double slot recording by selecting the [A] > [Double Slot Rec] > [ON]
4. Touch [X].
The double D icon will appear on the screen that allows you to see that the Double Slot Recording
option is selected.
If you have the means of buying more SD cards then just two, I would recommend you
use the Double Slot Recording method while out in the field to give you instant backup
of everything that you recorded. I, personally, like having the same size SD cards in
both the A and B slots, because that way I am not loosing recording time on one card. A
good thing about the Double Slot Recording is that if an error occurs on one of the
cards while recording, the other SD card will keep on recording. Of course, you can not
use both the Relay Recording and the Double Slot recording at the same time and you
will have to make a personal decision on that one based on how long you will be
filming, the conditions, and SD card availability.
Initializing the Memory:
Initialize memory cards when you use them with this camcorder for the first time. You can also
initialize a memory card or the built-in memory to permanently delete all the recordings it
contains. At the time of purchase, the built-in memory comes pre-intialized and contains music
files for use as background music and images for use with the image mix function (image mix
frames).
