MOTION RECORDING WAS CANCELLED DUE TO THE LIMITATION OF THE WRITING SPEED OF THE CARD

Using a card of SD speed ‘Class 6’ or above is recommended for recording motion pictures.

The SD speed class is a speed rating for continuous writing.

Using a high-speed card with a specified speed (e.g. on packaging) of at least 10 MB/s is recommended when ‘REC QUALITY’ is set to ‘HD’, ‘WVGA’, or ‘VGA’.

If recording stops even when using a ‘Class 6’ card or card with speed of ‘10 MB/s’ or faster, the data writing speed is low. We recommend backing up the data on the memory card and reformatting it (P.26).

Motion picture recording may be automatically terminated with certain cards.
