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
