Note on Recording Movies
When the AF/access lamp blinks after recording movies, the movie is not fully recorded yet. Do not
open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover. Removing the memory card or the battery
while a movie is being saved may result in loss of the movie data or damage to the camera or to the
memory card.
