• This camera uses the VBR recording system. "VBR" stands for Variable Bit Rate, and it refers to a system in
which the bit rate (volume of data per given time period) varies automatically depending on the subject which is
being shot. This means that the recording times will be shorter when fast-moving subjects have been recorded.
• Times displayed include time needed for processing, etc. – actual available recording times will be
slightly shorter.
• Continuous recording time is a maximum of 12 hours (when using the AC adaptor).
• Recording can be restarted even if it was paused due to shortage of space.
• Even for the same card, the recording time differs depending on conditions such as the recording format
and recorded images.
• The recording time of a memory card may shorten when record and delete are repeated often over and
over. In that case, format the memory card with the camera. When a memory card is formatted, all data
recorded on the memory card is erased and cannot be restored. Save important data to your computer.
• Please use an SD memory card class of SD speed class 6 or above when using the VFR function.
Recording cannot be performed with less than SD speed class 6.
