INFORMATION RECORDING APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An information recording apparatus having a relay recording mode in which a sequence of data is recorded across a plurality of recording media, comprising:
- an identification unit that identifies a recording medium having a wireless communication function among recordable recording media;
a wireless control unit that controls the wireless communication function of the recording medium having a wireless. communication function; and
a main control unit that controls the wireless control unit, in the case that the relay recording mode is set, to inactivate data transfer utilizing the wireless communication function for the recording medium having a wireless communication function determined by the identification unit.

Abstract
The invention relates to an information recording apparatus capable of relay recording, during which a sequence of data is continuously recorded across a plurality of recording media, as well as to a controlling method thereof. If the relay recording mode is set, it is determined whether any medium having a wireless communication function is present among the recordable recording media. If a recording medium having a wireless communication function is present, data transfer utilizing the wireless communication function is inactivated. This enables relay recording that accounts for cases in which memory cards provided with a wireless communication function are included among the recording media.
