[SIMUL REC] will set the camera to simultaneous recording mode.
The remaining time that can be simultaneously recorded (the remaining time of the memory card that has less available recording space) is displayed in
the media remaining space indicator on the screen, and [SIMUL] is displayed.
When the P2 card in the slot with less remaining recording space becomes full, simultaneous recording stops.
When starting simultaneous recording again, replace the P2 card in slot 1 or slot 3 with a new P2 card, and press the REC button. When the
simultaneous recording cannot be performed, [SIMUL] indication is displayed with a diagonal line.
If you press the REC button without replacing the P2 card, standard recording will be performed on the P2 card in slot 2 or slot 4 (the slot with remaining
memory space).
For details on system modes in which simultaneous recording can be used, refer to the table in “System modes and recording functions” (page 79).

NOTE
t
Start recording when two P2 cards are recognized. When recording is started before both P2 cards are recognized, standard recording is performed
using the P2 card recognized. The card status is checked after recording ends. At that time, if both cards are recognized, simultaneous recording is
performed.
t
Simultaneous recording cannot be used together with loop recording, interval recording, one-shot recording, or dual codec recording.
t
If recording stops because a recording malfunction occurs in one of the P2 cards during simultaneous recording, the camera will continue recording
onto the other P2 card. However, if the card is removed while accessing, recording will stop.
t
If there is space in one of the P2 cards after simultaneous recording has ended, the P2 card with space will automatically be the recording target.
Press the REC button again to start standard recording.
t
If only one P2 card is inserted when simultaneous recording mode is set, the camera will start standard recording.
Hot swap recording
When P2 cards are inserted into two card slots, recording can be performed continuously across two cards.
Also, the card other than the one currently being recorded to can be swapped and recording can be continued on two or more cards. (hot swap
recording function)
Note, however, P2 card recognition might slow down depending on the timing (immediately after pre-recording or before and after continuous recording
across two card slots) that the P2 card is inserted into the vacant card slot. When inserting a P2 card, make sure that there is at least one minute of free
space on the card to be recorded to.
