MEMO

•The brightness and color of the LCD monitor shown during movie recording may differ from those shown before recording begins.

•Pressing the shutter button down fully fixes the focus, however the exposure and white balance are adjusted to the scene being shot.

•If recording is stopped immediately after it begins,

1 second of the movie is recorded onto the Memory Card or internal memory.

•See p.122 for information on recording times per Memory Card or internal memory.

CAUTION

•Because a movie is recorded onto the Memory Card or internal memory as it is saved, it cannot be recorded correctly if the camera suddenly loses power (if the batteries run out).

•A movie file taken by FinePix J10 / FinePix J12 may not be playable on other cameras.

•Because sound is recorded concurrently with the images, make sure that you do not cover the microphone with a finger, etc. (➝p.10).

•Camera operation noises may be recorded during movie shooting.

•If you shoot using the xD-Picture Cards with model numbers containing “M” such as DPC-M1GB, movie recording time may be reduced if you repeatedly record and erase (frame erase) image files.

In such a case, erase all frames or format the xD-Picture Card before use. Back up important frames (files) onto your PC or another media.

•The size of a movie file can be up to 2GB.
