• The images shot from when shooting starts
until it is stopped are recorded as one clip.
• When recording is paused after a short period,
a small amount of time may be required after
pressing the START/STOP button to stop
recording before writing to the SD Memory

This means that operations cannot be
accepted if the START/STOP button is

Memory Card immediately after the card is
inserted. Press the START/STOP button to
begin recording after PAUSE is displayed in
the operation status display. (Page 47 of Vol.2)

can be recorded on a single SD Memory Card
is 900. (However, this number may exceed
900 clips at times such as when shooting
immediately after the POWER switch has been
set to ON.)

Checking photos taken (REC CHECK)

When recording is paused, the REC CHECK
function can be used to review the video and audio
recorded 2 seconds immediately prior. You can
assign the REC CHECK function to USER switch
1/2/3 via the menu.
• The REC CHECK images are also recorded
when a device is connected to the camera and
backup images have been recorded.
• The REC CHECK function does not work when
PC has been selected as the operation mode.
• This function does not work if the REC format is
changed, if the camera is set to the CAM mode
after having been switched to the PB mode, if the
SD memory card slot cover is opened, or if the
slot is switched after shooting.
