Recording reminder
M I X / F I X E D
When you start recording, the camera counts from
0SEC to 10SEC. Shots which are shorter than 10
seconds may be difficult to edit later. On the other
hand, if you are not planning to edit the recording,
remember that a shot which does not contain action
should generally last no longer than 10 seconds.
