Notes
If you close the LCD screen while recording movies, the camcorder stops recording (only when the

The maximum continuous recordable time of movies is about 13 hours.
When a movie file exceeds 2 GB, the next movie file is created automatically.
The flash does not work while the camera is in the
(Movie) mode.
The following states will be indicated if data is still being written onto the recording media after
recording has finished. During this time, do not apply shock or vibration to the camcorder, or

You may not be able to shoot photos depending on the setting in [
REC Mode] and [
Frame
Rate].
The LCD screen of your camcorder can display recording images across the entire screen (full pixel
display). However, this may cause slight trimming of the top, bottom, right, and left edges of images
when played back on a TV which is not compatible with full pixel display. It is recommended you
record images with [Grid Line] set to [On] and using the outer frame of [Grid Line] as a guide.
