5SEC / 15SEC / 30SEC / 60SEC:

The captured image is stored in the memory card as a thumbnail image when the recording time is over the navigation time.

For example, “5SEC” is suitable to record short scenes with the thumbnail images. ( pg. 48) However, the stored thumbnail images may take up a lot of memory. In this case, using the memory card with large capacity is recommended.

MANUAL: Enables thumbnail images to be made manually. ( pg. 48)
