What fits in each slot
| Slot | Formats | Interface | Workflow note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slot 1 | CFexpress Type B | CFexpress 2.0 | Panasonic lists supported capacities from 64GB to 2TB. |
| Slot 2 | SD/SDHC/SDXC | UHS-I / UHS-II through V90 | Panasonic lists SD capacity up to 512GB. |
When faster media matters
Everyday recommendation
V30 SDXC for recording through 200 Mbps; choose faster media as the selected bitrate rises.
Demanding recommendation
CFexpress Type B for the broadest high-bitrate and RAW/ProRes workflow; V90 SDXC for SD-supported modes through 600 Mbps.
The slot map and allowed recording media depend on codec and bitrate, so verify the selected quality in Panasonic's tables.
Plan the complete workflow
Capacity
CFexpress Type B: 64GB–2TB. SD/SDHC/SDXC: up to 512GB in the referenced manual.
Reader
Use a Type B reader for Slot 1 and UHS-II SD reader for Slot 2.
Three checks worth making
- The two slots are different formats.
- Not every recording quality can be mirrored across both cards.
- Confirm Panasonic's tested-media list before RAW recording.
Verify the current requirement
