General Movie Shooting Cautions

Recording and Image Quality

If you use a card with a slow writing speed, a five-level

indicator may appear on the right of the screen during

movie shooting. It indicates how much data has not

yet been written to the card (remaining capacity of the

internal buffer memory). The slower the card, the

faster the indicator will climb upward. If the indicator

becomes full, movie shooting will stop automatically.

If the card has a fast writing speed, the indicator will

either not appear or the level (if displayed) will hardly go upward. First,

shoot a few test movies to see if the card can write fast enough.

If the indicator indicates that the card is full and movie shooting stops

automatically, the sound near the end of the movie may not be recorded

If the card's writing speed decreases (due to fragmentation) and the

indicator appears, formatting the CF card (p.67) or low-level formatting of

the SD card (p.67-68) may resolve the problem.
