The actual recording time for movie is less than the expected approximate recording time of the “Memory Stick PRO Duo.”

Depending on the recoding conditions or the subject of the image, the time available for recording may be shorter, for example when recording a fast moving object, etc.

(p. 10).

There is a time difference between the point where you press START/STOP and the point that the recorded movie starts/stops.

On your camcorder, there may be a slight time difference between the point where you press START/STOP and the actual point that recording movie starts/stops. This is not a malfunction.

by the lens rapidly might appear crooked depending on the recording conditions.Tiny spots in white, red, blue, or green appear on the screen.

The spots appear when you are recording with [SUPER NIGHTSHOT] or [COLOR SLOW SHTR]. This is not a malfunction.
