    Solution

    The relay recording function allows you to continue recording MXF clips on another CF card without interruption if the CF card you are using becomes full. Relay recording is available from CF card slot A to CF card slot B, and vice versa.
    NOTE
    • When the bit rate is set to 50 Mbps, relay recording is not available during slow motion recording.
    • You can combine double slot recording and the MXF+MP4 movie format to record the same video on three recording media and in two different video formats.
    • The message "CF A -> CF B / CF B -> CF A Will switch in a moment" appears on the camcorder’s LCD screen when the recording media slot is about to switch from one to another after approximately 1 minute.
    • The message "CF A -> CF B / CF B -> CF A Switched" appears on the camcorder's LCD screen when the recording slot is switched from CF-A to CF-B, and vice versa.
