BNote on Saving Movies

After a movie has been recorded, it is not fully saved to the internal memory or memory card until monitor display returns to the shooting display. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover before movies have been fully saved. Removing the memory card or the battery while a movie is being saved may result in loss of the movie data or damage to the camera or to the memory card.
