Total available recording time
The total available recording time (approximate) is reflected on the LCD panel. For video clips, the Resolution is fixed at VGA:320*240 and the

camera is first turned on):
Shooting Basics

2. Toggle on the MODE button to select the Video Clip Mode [ ].
3. Ensure that the LCD monitor is activated. (Toggle the LCD/OK button to activate/deactivate it). The viewfinder cannot be used for video clip
recording.
4. Press the shutter button to start recording.
5. Press the shutter button again to stop recording.
6. To continue shooting, repeat the above steps 4 to 5.
Notes:
lWhen the storage memory is full, you may either delete the video clips that are no more required, or insert a new memory card.
lThe remaining shooting time shown on the Status LCD is an approximate value based on the currently accessed memory size.
lThe actual number of seconds available for shooting also depends on the shooting conditions. The value does not necessarily decrease by the
second. Also, upon turning on the camera, memory adjustment is made and the available time may actually be more than when the camera
was last turned off.
lWhen you take pictures in bright locations or in clear fine weather, lines may appear on the monitor. This is not a malfunction.
lPress the shutter button down steadily.
lWhen the status indicator is lit, shooting/replay is not possible. Wait until the light goes off. (After shooting a video clip, you would have to wait a
little while for the pictures to be stored into memory. A few seconds is also required to load the images from the memory to the LCD monitor for
replay).
lNever open the Battery/Memory Card compartment door when the status indicator is lit for this may cause damage.
lPlease format new Memory cards with this camera before using them.
