Record to Affordable Flash Cards
Unlike other camcorders which use proprietary memory systems, the XF300 Professional Camcorder
records to cost effective Compact Flash (CF) cards. The camcorder features two CF card slots and
offers versatile recording functions including:
Relay recording:
When one CF card becomes full, the camcorder automatically switches video recording to the
other CF card.
Hot swapping:
Media can be replaced without turning off the camcorder. And while recording, the other card
can be removed without interruption.
File copy and backup:
Files may be copied from one card to the next – ideal for backing up when on location.
Pre-Record:
Perfect for news crews and live event shooters, the camcorder continuously buffers
approximately three seconds of video in memory. When the Record button is pressed, recording
begins and the contents of buffer memory are added, so you never miss an important shot
