In a recording apparatus that is capable of recording information on a plurality of recording media, i.e., first and second memory cards, the information is recorded on the first and second memory cards simultaneously, the information that has been recorded only on one of the memory cards is left and the information recorded on the other is deleted in dependence upon the available capacities of the memory cards at the end of recording. Performing recording in this manner makes it possible to store continuous data collectively on a single recording medium to the greatest extent possible.
