Is there a relay recording feature that automatically begins recording to the additional card when the primary card becomes full? (XA35 / XA30)

Content Id: 8202772100


Solution

You can use relay recording so that if the memory card being recorded on becomes full, the recording will continue uninterrupted on the other memory card.

The setting procedures for Relay recording are explained below.

Caution

When you use relay recording, it does not matter which memory card the recording starts on. The recording will continue on the other memory card. However, the camcorder will switch to another memory card only one time.
When the camcorder switches form recording on one memory card to another during relay recording, the video will be recorded as two separate relay scenes.
With the supplied software, Data Import Utility, you can join relay scenes (either AVCHD or MP4 format) recorded on both memory cards as a single scene and save it on a computer
