Checks before recording

If you intend to record only with this unit by turning off the Wi-Fi mode, we recommend you make a test recording to check the settings such as the field of view mode, [Image stabilization] and [White balance] before recording. (l 22, 25, 26)

Wear this unit, face the front, and then check them on the Live view screen (l 22).

You can use [Shooting guidelines] (l 26) as a guide for balance in composition.

This unit (camera unit) stabilizes if you wear it while placing it on your cheek.

The period between the start and end of recording is recorded as one file. However, if the continuous recording time exceeds the following, the file is divided and the pieces are saved separately. (Thumbnails are also created separately, so automatic continuous playback will not be available)

The amount of data varies depending on the recording image, so use the following as approximate indications.

j 1920k1080/60p: approx.10 min

j 1920k1080/30p: approx.19 min

j 1280k720/60p: approx.15 min

j 1280k720/30p and 640k360/30p: approx. 22 min

j 1920k1080/60fps: approx. 9 min

j 1280k720/120fps: approx. 5 min

j 640k360/240fps: approx. 2 min

Each microSD card can save up to approximately 89100 files and approximately 900 folders. When other motion pictures and still pictures have already been saved in the microSD card, the capacity becomes lower.

Motion pictures are saved in separate folders according to the [Normal shooting mode] or [Slow motion mode] setting. (l 24) Still pictures that have been taken one at a time and those taken in [Interval rec mode] (l 25) are saved in separate folders. For details about the folders, refer to 47 page.

If you set the field of view mode to wide, [Level Shot Function] (l 25) and [Image stabilization] (l 25) is set to OFF.

If you set the field of view mode to standard and set [Image stabilization] to ON, the field of view becomes narrower.

If you set the field of view mode to wide or you set the recording mode to [Slow motion mode], the picture size of a still picture will be approximately 5.3 M (3072k1728); if you set the mode to standard, the picture size will be approximately 3 M (2304k1296).

Refer to page 60 for the approximate recordable time and number of recordable pictures.

Field of view mode cannot be used when [Slow motion mode] is set to ON.

If you record motion pictures in a dark place in [Slow motion mode], recorded motion pictures may be darker than those in [Normal shooting mode].

If you record still pictures in a dark place, recorded still pictures may be darker than motion pictures.

It may take approximately 3 seconds to stop recording. Confirm if the motion picture recording stops or not by the access lamp or Alert Sound.

If you check an image or sound when recording motion pictures while this unit is connected wirelessly to a smartphone, etc., howling* may occur. In that case, lower the volume of the smartphone.

*Refers to a phenomenon in which a microphone outputs an abnormal sound when it picks up a sound from a speaker.
