Hot swap recording
When microP2 memory cards are inserted into two microP2 memory 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).
Note, however, microP2 memory card recognition might slow down depending on the timing (immediately after pre-recording or before and after
continuous recording across two card slots) when the microP2 memory card is inserted into the vacant card slot. When inserting microP2 memory card,
make sure that there is at least one minute of free space on the card to be recorded to.
Pressing the <SLOT SEL> button allows you to change the slot to be recorded to with one touch.
