Recording reminder

0sec

1 0 sec

When you start recording, the camera counts from 0SEC to 10SEC. Shots which are shorter than 10 seconds may be difficult to edit later. On the other hand, if you are not planning to edit the recording, remember that a shot which does not contain action should generally last no longer than 10 seconds.
