Dual Recording and Relay Recording

contain an SD card: dual recording and relay recording.
Dual recording: This function records the same clip simultaneously to both SD cards, which is a
convenient way to make a backup copy of your recordings while you record.
Relay recording: This function allows you to continue recording on the other SD card without
interruption when the SD card you are using becomes full.
