New functions in firmware V1.10 

Mirror recording function added

A mirror recording function has been added that allows you to record 
simultaneously to 2 CF cards. 
In order to make the mirror recording setting easy to see on the 
screen, indicators have been added to the CF card remaining time 
display button on the Home Screen. These indicators show the status 
of both CF cards: recording possible, recording not possible, or not 
ready for recording.
