When the storage memory is full, you may either delete the video clips that are no more required, or insert a new memory card.

The remaining shooting time shown on the Status LCD is an approximate value based on the currently accessed memory size.

The 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.

When you take pictures in bright locations or in clear fine weather, lines may appear on the monitor. This is not a malfunction.

Press the shutter button down steadily.

When 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).

Never open the Battery/Memory Card compartment door when the status indicator is lit for this may cause damage.
