Using Two Memory Cards

When two memory cards are inserted in the camera, you can
choose one as the primary card using the

Primary slot selection

item in the shooting menu. Select

CF card slot to designate the

card in the CompactFlash card slot as the primary card,

SD card

slot to choose the SD memory card. The roles played by the
primary and secondary cards can be chosen using the

Secondary

slot function option in the shooting menu. Choose from

Overflow (the secondary card is used only when the primary card
is full),

Backup (each picture is recorded to both the primary and

secondary card), and

RAW primary, JPEG secondary (as for

Backup, except that the NEF/RAW copies of photos recorded at
settings of NEF/RAW + JPEG are recorded only to the primary card
and the JPEG copies only to the secondary card).

“Backup” and “RAW Primary, JPEG Secondary”

The camera shows the number of exposures remaining on the card with
the least amount of memory. Shutter release will be disabled when
either card is full.
