NOTES:

●By default, the camera is set to record videos in 4:3 size. To record videos in 16:9 size, see “Changing the Screen Size” ( pg. 18).

●If the camera is not operated during recording or playback for 5 minutes when using the battery pack, it turns itself off automatically to conserve power. To turn the camera on again,

set the power switch to OFF, then to or . When using the AC adapter, the camera enters the sleep mode (the access lamp lights and the LCD monitor turns off). To cancel the sleep mode, perform any operation such as zooming.

●When the camera heats up, the 7REC indicator flashes. If the camera continues to heat up, shooting may be stopped to protect the recording medium. In this case, turn off the power, and then wait until the camera cools down.

●If data cannot be recorded or saved properly, the video files are not saved to the [SD_VIDEO] folder, which is for regular videos. Instead, the files are saved to the [EXTMOV] folder. To play back these files, see “To Play Back Files in the [EXTMOV] Folder” ( pg. 29).

●Video files are given the names MOV_001.MOD to MOV_009.MOD, MOV_00A.MOD to MOV_00F.MOD, and MOV_010.MOD in order of recording.

●After recording video for 12 consecutive hours, recording stops automatically.

●A new file will be created for every 4 GB of continuous shooting.

●This camera records video in MPEG2 format compliant with SD-VIDEO format. Remember that this camera is not compatible with other digital video formats.

●Before recording important video, be sure to make a trial recording.

●Do not move or shake the camera suddenly during recording. If you do, the sound of the hard disk drive may be recorded.

If you select an event to register the file to before starting recording, the file will be registered to the selected event, thus making the file easy to find at playback. There are up to 3 different destinations within each event (for example: BABY1, BABY2, BABY3).
