    I read in another post here that the 350 offers a “possibility to record 100mbits per sec. at 4.2.2 via Nanoflash.”

    Can you record to the Nano as well as to the internal card, at the same time?

    In general yes you can roll both at the same time.

    YES You definitely can record to both SxS and on into the Nano at the same time. IMO this is the best way to insure you have the optimum security working with digital files. I just shot a pilot and this is the workflow I use to insure the files to my clients.

    Good Luck

    We always record on both media when using the nano Flash, it’s just more convenient than using the remote roll switch and you have the benefit of a backup. If you’re shooting time of day time code however, you’ll need to use the remote roll cable for the Nano Flash to trigger recording.

    How do i just record to the nano. I simply don’t have enough sxs cards and when that card fills i can’t record to the nano. A reply would be huge here. Thanks
