Note
●Still pictures are recorded on a flash memory card (sold separately). Even if the settings on this page are specified, the picture recording function does not perform if there is no memory card in the VB150 slot.
●The data size that can be recorded for a still picture is less than or equal to the size specified in the "Max Picture size". If this amount is exceeded, the picture will not be recorded. The number of pictures that can be recorded depends on flash memory card capacity, however the maximum number of pictures that can be recorded is 30,000.
