On the recording media life and the write time
If you keep long time recording at a high bit rate in the loop recording mode, the memory card life may be
shorter significantly.
If you lower the recording bit rate in long recording, you may minimize bad effects on the memory card life.
If you record movies for a long time in the loop recording mode, data fragmentation may occar in the
memory card. The camera may take time to write data and automatically stop recording.
Formatting a memory card may improve the recording conditions.
Also, you may minimize bad effects of the data fragmentation by formatting a memory card in advance to
increase the free space of memory.
Loop recording cannot be started if the free space of the media could not secured. In that case, a warning
[05-04] appears on the screen.
