When the built-in memory becomes full, will the recording be automatically saved to the memory card, or vice versa (relay recording)?

Solution

    You can activate the relay recording so if the built-in memory becomes full while recording movies, the recording will continue uninterrupted on the memory card.

    Insert a memory card that contains no video recordings into the card slot of the memory card you want to use for relay recording.
