IMPORTANT
• Observe the following precautions while an access indicator is illuminated in red. Failure to do so may result in
permanent data loss.
- Do not open the card slot cover of the card being accessed and do not remove the card.
- Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camera.
• Be sure to save your recordings regularly (A 170), especially after making important recordings. Canon shall
not be liable for any loss or corruption of data.
NOTESNOTES
• You can use the review function (A 110) to play back part or all of the last clip recorded without having to
switch to mode.
• If you record using the custom picture and metadata settings, those settings will be recorded with the clip. For
more details, refer to
Custom Picture Settings (A 134) and Using Metadata (A 106).
• If the camera switches to the other CFast card while recording video due to the relay recording function
(A 50), the two parts (before/after the switch) will be recorded as separate clips.
• If you set an assignable button to [Add Shot Mark 1] or [Add Shot Mark 2] (A 131), you can press the button
to add a shot mark to a clip while it is being recorded. If you set an assignable button to [Add $ Mark] or
[Add % Mark] (A 131), you can press the button to add an $ mark or % mark to the last clip recorded.
