∗1 Use an SD memory class of SD speed class 4 or above when recording on PH mode or HA mode. Recording cannot be completed on SD Memory Cards of lower speed classes.

∗2 Use an SD memory class of SD speed class 2 or above when recording in HG mode or HE mode. Recording cannot be completed on SD Memory Cards of lower speed classes.

∗3 This is the highest quality mode of this camera.

•This camera uses the VBR recording system. “VBR” stands for Variable Bit Rate, and it refers to a system in which the bit rate (volume of data per given time period) varies automatically depending on the subject which is being shot. This means that the recording times will be shorter when fast-moving subjects have been recorded.

•Times displayed include time needed for processing, etc. – actual available recording times will be slightly shorter.

•The camera is capable of continuous recording for a maximum of 12 hours.

•Recording can be restarted even if it was paused due to shortage of space.

•Even for the same card, the recording time differs depending on conditions such as the recording format and recorded images.

•Mosaic-like noise may appear on the playback screen under the following shooting conditions: āā When there are complex patterns in the background

āā When the camera is moved in large motions or when it is moved very quickly

āā When a fast-moving subject has been recorded (and especially when HE has been set as the recording mode)

•When an SD memory card is formatted, the entire data including still images recorded on the card is erased and cannot be restored. Save any valuable data on your personal computer before formatting.

•Please use an SD memory card class of SD speed class 6 or above when using the VFR function. Recording cannot be performed with less than SD speed class 6.
