About the compatibility of the recorded motion pictures

They are not compatible with devices other than those that support AVCHD. Images cannot be played with equipment that does not support AVCHD (ordinary DVD recorders). Confirm that your equipment supports AVCHD by referring to the operating instructions.

There are some cases where the recorded motion pictures cannot be played back, even if the device supports AVCHD. In such cases, play the recorded motion picture with this unit instead.

Still pictures can be recorded while recording the motion picture. (l 51)

The images recorded between pressing the recording start/stop button to start recording and pressing it again to pause recording become one scene.

Maximum number of recordable scenes: 3900

Maximum number of different dates: 200 (l 79)

When either of them reaches to the maximum limit, more scenes cannot be recorded. (In the case of SD cards it is the maximum number of recordable scenes per card.)

A continuous recording of motion picture data that exceeds 4 GB may momentarily stop at every 4 GB of data when played back with another device.
