Cautions

  • A Class 6 (SD Speed Class) SDHC card usage is recommended for shooting a movie withHD1280 (1280 x 720). Otherwise the movie withHD1280 (1280 x 720) may not be correctly played back in the camera depending on the memory card, due to the effect of readout speed of the captured movie.
  • The maximum recording time per shooting depends on the memory card. Depending on the type of memory card, shooting may end before the maximum recording time is reached.
  • The maximum recording time per shooting is 90 minutes or the equivalent of 4 GB.

Notes Notes

  • The flash cannot be used.
  • The camera will start focusing when the shutter release button is pressed (in the step 4 above).
  • The amount of time remaining is calculated based on the amount of memory available, and may not diminish at an even rate.
  • Shooting menu options differ from those available in other modes.
  • It is recommended to use sufficiently charged batteries.
  • Use of a high speed SD memory card with sufficient memory is recommended when shooting for long periods.
