• When recording to 2 SD cards simultaneously, files will be saved
in take folders with the same name on both cards. Folders will be
created automatically if they do not already exist.
• If recording should stop on one SD card because, for example, it
runs out of space, recording will continue on the other SD card.
At such times, do not remove the card that has stopped recording
from the slot. Doing so could damage the card or data.
