attach it to an e-mail to send it. In this case, it is recommended to make a file size 1 MB or less. The recording time of 1 MB MPEG4 moving picture is approx. 15 seconds (Fine), 20 seconds (Normal), 45 seconds (Economy 1) or 60 seconds (Economy 2). (The capacity limit of the file which is attachable to an e-mail differs depending on the environment used.) If the file is played back on Macintosh®, use the Windows Media Player for Macintosh®. (Mac OS®

9-2: If the SD Multi AV Device is used continuously for a long time or used at a high ambient temperature, red, blue, green or white dots may appear on the screen and be recorded on a still picture. This is due to the rise of the temperature inside the body. This is caused by a characteristic of the C-MOS sensor and is not a failure. Under this condition, turn the SD Multi AV Device off and leave it for a while.

≥C-MOS sensors are said to be a next- generation image pick-up device succeeding CCDs as they are small and consume low amounts of power.
