Chapter 4 Video Recording and Color Grading — Special recording functions
Special recording functions
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 three or more cards (hot swap
recording).
However, P2 card recognition might slow down depending on the timing (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.
