The same image is saved to both cards, but in a different size (L, M1, M2, S, RAW, M-RAW, or S-RAW) that was set for the respective card.
4. Record to multiple
The same image is saved to both cards in the same size (RAW+JPEG also possible). |
| File Numbering |
Consecutive numbering, auto reset, manual reset.
Possible to create new folders and select folders in the CF card |
