IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND ALERTS

i When the recording mode setting is set to audio recording <, and the recording exceeds about 5 hours, the recorded file is saved and the audio recording ends. For other recording mode settings, when the file size exceeds 4 GB, the recorded file is saved once, and the recording continues in a new file. (These 4 GB segments are automatically created. The recording session continues until you stop recording.)

i For model HX-DC1, about 30 seconds before the 4 GB capacity is reached, the countdown indication appears. When the countdown indication reaches “0”, the “SAVING” message appears and the file is saved, and then video recording continues in a new file.

i Even with cards of the same capacity, the amount of data that can actually be stored may differ depending on the card brand or type, recording conditions, etc.

i The continuous recording time may differ depending, for example, on the card type, capacity, efficiency, etc.
