Basic Operations Basic shooting operations (continued) • The images shot from when shooting starts until it is stopped are recorded as one clip. • When recording is paused after a short period, a small amount of time may be required after pressing the START/STOP button to stop recording before writing to the SD Memory Card is terminated. This means that operations cannot be accepted if the START/STOP button is pressed immediately. • The camera will read information from the SD Memory Card immediately after the card is inserted. Press the START/STOP button to begin recording after (pause: green) is displayed in the operation status display.

(To view current setting status: Page 11 of Vol.2) • The upper limit for the number of clips which can be recorded on a single SD Memory Card is 900. (However, this number may exceed 900 clips at times such as when shooting immediately after the POWER switch has been set to ON.) • 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) DV mode: • The camera's factory default setting is 480/60i recording. • The upper limit for the number of clips which can be recorded on a single SD Memory Card is 999.
