How to set the way recording to the card slots 1 and 2 is performed. - DC-GH5, DC-GH5S, DC-G9

Assigning The Recording Method

Press [MENU] → [Setup] → [Double Slot Function] → [Recording Method] → [Relay Rec] / [Backup Rec] / [Allocation Rec]  

Relay Recording (Relay Rec)

Relays recording to the other card slot even after the first card runs out of free space during recording.
  • [Destination Slot] → [1 → 2] / [2 → 1]
  • If you keep replacing the full card before the other card runs out of free space during motion picture recording, you can perform recording for a long period of time using 3 or more cards. Replace the card when there is still sufficient free space left on the card being used for recording.
  • In the following cases, recording cannot be relayed to the other card:
    • When recording a motion picture in [AVCHD] format
    • DC-GH5
      • When using [Loop Recording(4K PHOTO)] for [6K/4K Burst(S/S)] recording.
      • When using [Loop Recording (video)] for motion picture recording.
 

Backup Recording (Backup Rec)

Records same images to the two cards.
  • We recommend using cards with the same Speed Class rating and capacity.
  • When recording a motion picture in [AVCHD] format, backup recording of motion picture is not possible. Data will be recorded only to the one card.
  • When different types of cards (SDHC/SDXC) are inserted in any of the following situations, recording cannot be performed to the cards:
    • When recording motion pictures (Excluding [AVCHD])
    • When recording 6K/4K photos
    • When recording with the Post Focus function
 

Allocation Recording (Allocation Rec)

Allows you to specify the card slot to be used for recording for different image formats.
  • Image formats available:
    • [JPEG Destination]
    • [RAW Destination]
    • [6K/4K Photo Destination]
    • [Video Destination]
