Recording Functions
Images record directly to the CF card. With the WFT-E5A attached, image recording to the CF card and to the USB external media connected to the WFT-E5A will be possible as follows:

(1) Standard

• No automatic switching of recording media.

(2) Automatic switching of recording media

• When the current recording media becomes full, it switches to another recording media automatically and continues recording.

(3) Separate recording

• Each recording media can be set to record a specific image-recording quality for each shot.

(4) Recording of identical images

• Images can also be recorded at the same size to both recording media. (RAW+JPEG, M RAW+JPEG or S RAW+JPEG is possible).

(5) Backup to external recording media

• Selected images, all images, and quick backup are possible.

Backup Recording
Enabled with Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E5A attached

File Numbering
