Wondering if anyone else with a S1 can confirm that there is a bug when using 2 media cards. On mine there is a discrepancy between the top LCD and EVF/Monitor as to which card you are actually recording to. The little arrow next to the active card conflict one another between the top LCD and EVF/Monitor. It appears to switch back and forth sometimes as to which one is correct as well when powering down and powering up. Not a huge deal but I was confused on a recent shoot by it, only later to discover it appears to be a bug.

I'm using a Sony 120 GB XQD G series and a Sony 64 GB Tough series SDXC card, set to relay recording slot 1 - slot 2.

IIRC, there is nothing wrong with your camera and it's working how it's supposed to.

I believe the 1 > 2 means card 1 is being used first and then once it fills up the camera will record to card 2.

And the top LCD is showing card 1 is being used, so it all makes sense.

Pretty sure those numbers flip around if card 2 was recording i.e. 2 > 1 and then you should see an arrow next to card 2 on the top LCD.

Now as far as the numbers switching back and forth (on/off) there is a possibility that there is a bug that doesn't remember which card relay recording was set to, but I don't know. Regardless, it should always be 1 > 2 and 1...or...2 > 1 and 2...if that makes sense.
 
Yup, after looking a little closer today it's not a bug, my mistake. The arrow on the EVF/monitor points to the relay card not the card in use.
