Setting up CF cards for recording:
The EOS C300 and C300 PL require UDMA-compatible Type 1 CF cards, with a capacity of
at least 512 MB. UDMA-compliance or “card speed” alone is not a guarantee that a card will
function properly in the camera. Canon Inc. has subjected various popular cards to a series of
rigorous tests to verify reliable operation in the EOS C300. This list should be checked by any
prospective camera operator:

The C300 has 2 CF card slots for recording: CF-A and CF-B. The Recording Method options
for using the two CF card slots are:
• Relay Recording
If two cards are installed, the camera records to one card first — and instantly switches to
the second when the first card is full.
• Double Slot Recording
With two cards installed, the camera records simultaneously to both cards, creating an im-
mediate back-up copy in-camera as you record. Note: Double-slot recording is not possible with
slow & fast motion recording, or with Relay Recording
