The recording screen is displayed like a frame dropping with a slight delay compared
to normal recording.
●
No audio is recorded for motion pictures.
●
When a motion picture is recorded, the finished recording will be approximately 1/8th
of the actual recorded time period. (If you record a motion picture for 8 minutes,
the resulting motion picture recording time will be approximately 1 minute.) The
recordable time displayed on the camera is approx. 8x longer than actual time needed
for recording. When the recording mode is changed, be sure to check the recordable
time.
●
If you stop recording motion pictures too soon, the camera may continue recording
until a certain time. Hold the camera until the camera stops recording.
●
When you take a picture using a large picture size setting, the screen will become
dark for a certain period of time after the picture is taken. However, this occurs due to
signal processing and is not a defect.
