If scenes do not change smoothly when played back on another device

The images may be still for several seconds at the joins between the scenes if the following operations are performed when multiple scenes have been continuously played back using another unit.

Just how smoothly the scenes will be played back depends on the playback unit. Depending on the unit used, the images may stop moving and become still for a moment even when none of the following conditions are applicable.

A continuous recording of motion picture data that exceeds 4 GB may momentarily stop at every 4 GB of data when played back with another device.

It may not play back smoothly when the editing of scenes was done with the

HD Writer AE 2.5S, but it will play back smoothly if you set the seamless settings in the HD Writer AE 2.5S. Refer to the operating instructions for the HD Writer AE 2.5S.

Principal reasons for not playing back smoothly

When the scenes were recorded on different dates

When scenes lasting under 3 seconds have been recorded

When PRE-REC was used for recording

When deleting scenes

When scenes recorded more than 99 scenes on the same date

When switching between scenes recorded using [HA], [HG], [HX] or [HE] and scenes recorded using [SA] or [SX]
