●The maximum continuous recording time for this unit is 8 hours.

●If a single scene exceeds 4 GB during motion picture recording, recording continues as a separate scene.

●Recording fast-moving objects or repeatedly writing on the same SD card numerous times shortens recording time.

●Mosaic-like interference may be generated on playback screens in the following circumstances:

•Complicated pictures in background

•The unit is moved greatly or quickly

•Recording is of a rapidly moving object (particularly if recording mode is set to [])

•Recording may stop suddenly if an incompatible SD card has been inserted (P.20).

•Even with usable SD cards, recording may stop if you repeatedly write on the same SD card. Copy data onto a PC using MotionSD STUDIO, then format the SD card with this unit. (When formatted, all data on the SD card is erased.)
