●
If data is repeatedly recorded and deleted, the total available recording time on the
SD card may be reduced. To restore the original capacity, use the camera to format
the SD card. Be sure to save all important data to your computer or other media
before formatting, as all data saved to the card will be erased.

●
If Extra optical zoom is used before pressing the motion picture button, these settings
will be cleared, and the recordable area will be changed significantly.
●

turn black for an instant or noise may be recorded because of static electricity,
electromagnetic waves, etc.
