[Note on playback of movie files (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264)

To play back and editing movie files (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) recorded by the camera, you need to install the software compatible with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 or “PMB” on your computer.

Even under a PC environment where operations are guaranteed, sometimes images cannot be played back smoothly due to dropped frames. Note that the transferred image itself is not affected.

If you are using a notebook PC, be sure to use the PC with the AC adaptor plugged in. Sometimes normal operations are not possible due to the power savings function of the PC.

bNote

Operations are not guaranteed, even on computers fulfilling the above system requirements. For example, other open or background applications currently running may limit product performance.
