How the camera switches the memory card slot in use
When [Recording Mode] is set to [Standard]:
When images cannot be recorded to the memory card in use, [Prioritize Rec. Media] switches automatically and images
are recorded to the other memory card.
When the other memory card becomes full after switching, the camera starts recording in the former slot again.
Example: When [Prioritize Rec. Media] is set to [Slot 1]
: Recording images
(A): Recording is no longer possible on the memory card (due to lack of capacity, etc.).
(B): The memory card is replaced with a recordable one.
When recording the same image simultaneously to two memory cards:
Recording still images with [Recording Mode] set to [Simult. ( )]
Recording movies with [Recording Mode] set to [Simult. ( )]
Recording still images or movies with [Recording Mode] set to [Simult. ( / )]
The camera stops simultaneous recording when either of the memory cards becomes full. When you remove the
memory card that has become full, the camera starts recording to the other memory card.
When you replace the memory card that has become full with a recordable memory card, the camera starts
simultaneous recording with the selected setting again.
