The actual number of frames and recording time varies depending on the type of Memory Card or shooting conditions. Also, the number of frames and recording time displayed in the LCD monitor may not decrease regularly.
If you shoot using the xD-Picture Cards with model numbers containing “M” such as DPC-M1GB, movie recording time may be reduced if you repeatedly record and erase (frame erase) image files. In such a case, erase all frames or format the xD-Picture Card before use. Back up important frames (files) onto your PC or another media. * These specifications are subject to change without notice.

Explanation of Terms EV A number denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed. When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1.
