Although the recording time may not display
properly during shooting, the movie will be
recorded correctly on the memory card. Recording
time will display properly if you format the memory
card in this camera (excluding slow recording
memory cards) (p. 35).
Try the following procedures.
- Format the card with a low level format before
filming (p. 35).
- Lower the recording pixels/frame rate (p. 48).
- Use a high-speed memory card (SDC-512MSH,
etc.).
Computer images that cannot be played back will
play back if they are added to the camera using
the bundled software program ZoomBrowser EX
or ImageBrowser.
See ZoomBrowser EX/ ImageBrowser Software
User Guide (PDF).
Set the file name or location to a file format
compatible with the camera. (Refer to the
Software Starter Guide for details).
