• Times displayed include time needed for processing, etc. – actual available recording times will be
slightly shorter.
• The camera is capable of continuous recording for a maximum of 12 hours.
• Repeatedly recording or deleting images over and over again may reduce the recording time on the SD
Memory Card. In such cases, format the SD Memory Card using the camera. When a card is formatted,
all of its recorded data will be erased, and it will not be subsequently possible to restore this data. Save
any valuable data on your PC prior to formatting.
