Note

•The motion picture recording may stop in the middle when any of the following cards are used.

–Cards on which recording and deleting have been repeated many times

–Cards which have been formatted using a PC or other equipment

Before taking pictures, format (P38) the card in the unit. Because formatting will delete all data recorded on the card, save important data beforehand on the computer.

•You may not be able to record for a short while after turning the power [ON] when using a large capacity card.

•Motion pictures recorded in [AVCHD Lite] or [MOTION JPEG] may be played back with poor picture or sound quality or playback may not be possible even when played back with equipment compatible with these formats. Also, the recording information may not be displayed properly. In this case, use this unit.
