≥The recordable time shown in the table are approximations.
≥This unit records in VBR. VBR is an abbreviation for Variable Bit Rate. VBR recording automatically varies the bit rate (amount of data in a fixed time) depending on the subject being recorded. This means if a subject with sharp movements is recorded, the recording time is reduced.
≥Recordable time using the battery (l 27)
≥8 MB and 16 MB SD cards cannot be used for motion picture recording.
≥If an SD card is recorded on or erased many times, it may no longer be possible to record motion pictures even if there is available memory on the SD card. In this case, after saving the data on computer, format the SD card.
≥
jWhen the unit is moved too much or too fast
jWhen a subject with sharp movements has been recorded (Particularly if it has been recorded in [LP] mode.)
