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.
