(If you record a motion picture for 8 minutes, the resulting motion picture recording time will be approximately 1 minute.) The recordable time displayed on the camera is approx. 8x longer than actual recording. When the recording mode is changed, be sure to check the recordable time.

When a motion picture is recorded, the finished recording will be approximately 1/10th of the actual recorded time period.

●●If you stop recording motion pictures too soon, the camera may continue recording for a certain time. Hold the camera still until the camera stops recording.

●●When you take a picture using a large resolution setting, the screen will become dark for a certain period of time after the picture is taken. However, this occurs due to signal processing and is not a defect.
