◆Playing movie files ◆
iYou may not be able to play some movie files recorded on other cameras.
iTo play back movie files on a computer, save the movie file on the media to the computer’s hard disk
and then play back the saved file.
◆Notes on using Microdrives for movie shooting ◆
If the camera’s internal temperature rises too high, movie shooting automatically stops to protect the
media. Because Microdrives tend to generate heat (for mechanical reasons), long periods of
continuous movie shooting may not be possible when the ambient temperature is high. As a general
guide to shooting times, you can shoot movies for around 20 minutes at an ambient temperature of
+30°C/+86°F and for around 30 minutes at +25°C/+77°F.
1If the camera’s internal temperature rises during shooting, a message appears saying
“MICRODRIVE IS OVERHEATING. MOVIE RECORDING WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP SOON”.
2This then changes to “PLEASE STOP MOVIE RECORDING!”. If you continue shooting, the movie is
automatically saved and the camera shuts down.
3If you then immediately try to start shooting again, “MOVIE RECORDING HAS STOPPED CANNOT
RESTART A WHILE” is displayed and you cannot start shooting. Switch the camera off and do not
use it for roughly 30 minutes until it has cooled down. Note that you can still shoot still images during
this period.
●
!
Because the Microdrive is hot just after a movie is shot, do not remove the Microdrive immediately.
