S1. Simultaneous Record
When recording, by default once the XQD card in the first
slot becomes full the camera will automatically switch
to the other slot. When shooting in 1920 x 1080 HD it is
also possible to record simultaneously to both XQD card
slots. By default, both slots will enter record mode when
any record button on the camera is pressed. But it is also
possible to control each slot independently using the
record button on the side of the camera to control one
slot and the handle record button to control the other
slot. This may be useful when you need to record a long
event or performance without any breaks onto one card
while using the second card to capture highlight clips. See
(MENU: PROJECT – SIMUL REC)
.
Also, as mentioned in 4.5 chapter, you can simultaneously
record a 4K (QFHD) video as a main clip and an MPEG
HD422 video as a sub-clip, which can be used for editing,
to a single XQD memory card. The sub-clip recording
format varies, depending on the system frequency of the
main clip.
