Recording cannot be completed on SD Memory Cards of lower speed classes. ∗2 We recommend using an SD memory card of SD speed class 2 or above when recording in HG mode or HE mode. ∗3 This is the highest quality mode of this camera. • This camera uses the VBR recording system. "VBR" stands for Variable Bit Rate, and it refers to a system in which the bit rate (volume of data per given time period) varies automatically depending on the subject which is being shot. This means that the recording times will be shorter when fast-moving subjects have been recorded. • Times displayed include time needed for processing, etc. - actual available recording times will be slightly shorter. • The camera is capable of continuous recording for a maximum of 12 hours. • Mosaic-like noise may appear on the playback screen under the following shooting conditions: � When there are complex patterns in the background � When the camera is moved in large motions or when it is moved very quickly � When a fast-moving subject has been recorded (and especially when HE has been set as the recording mode) • Repeatedly recording or deleting images over and over again may reduce the recording time on the SD Memory Card. In such cases, format the SD Memory Card using the camera. When a card is formatted, all of its recorded data will be erased, and it will not be subsequently possible to restore this data. Save any valuable data on your PC prior to formatting. 36
