In this mode the camera will record JPEG images and video to slot 1 and RAW images to slot 2. Please note that using this option also slows down the memory card write speeds compared to writing to a single slot. I’d recommend this setup as opposed to the next option if you are shooting continuous, as the RAW files are larger than JPEGS and will clear the buffer faster when writing to the faster slot 1 (that’s if you are using a UHS-II SD card). In this mode the camera will record RAW images and video to slot 1 and JPEG images to slot 2. In this mode the camera will record images (RAW/JPEG) and video to both slots 1 and 2 at the same time. In this mode the camera will record video to both slots 1 and 2 at the same time, and will record images (RAW/JPEG) to slot 1. Please note that using this setup eliminates the benefits of using UHS-II cards in slot 1 as the performance is now restricted to the UHS-I speeds of slot 2.

In this mode the camera will record images (RAW/JPEG) to both slots 1 and 2 at the same time, and will record videos to slot 1.

In this mode the camera will only record images (RAW/JPEG) and videos to slot 1, or slot 2 if you have changed this under prioritize record media. Upon confirming an issue with the card such as poor electrical contact, direct the user to a repair service.The a7III is set to standard recording mode by default. If the card is not one of the cards eligible for free replacement, it may be that there is a separate issue. If affected, then proceed with the replacement process. If you receive an inquiry from a user, verify that the card is affected according to the Replacement Program for Some SD Memory Cards article. The alert doesn't appear when the proper card is inserted. Accordingly, an alert is programmed to appear when the camera detects that an affected card is inserted. Since this camera is one that supports video speed class specifications, the problem may occur. In June 2020, an announcement was made that free replacements would be made available for eligible SD™ cards (SF-G Series TOUGH, SF-M Series TOUGH, or SF-M Series SDXC/SDHC UHS-II) due to a problem that recorded data on the card may be damaged or data may not be recorded correctly when shooting video on a camera in video speed class mode (the camera compatible with video speed class V60/V90 etc.
