Digital Camera Battery SD20 User Guide

• The recording time may not display properly during shooting or 

filming may stop unexpectedly with the following types of SD cards.
- Slow recording cards
- Cards formatted on a different camera or a computer
- Cards which have had images recorded and erased repeatedly

Although the recording time may not display properly during 
shooting, the movie will be recorded correctly on the SD card. 
Recording time will display properly if you format the SD card in 
this camera (excluding slow recording SD cards).

• You are recommended to use an SD card that has been formatted in 

your camera to shoot movies (p. 24). The card supplied with the 
camera may be used without further formatting. When shooting 
movies at 

 (640 x 480), you are recommended to use the 

separately sold SDC-128M SD card (not sold in some regions) or 
SDC-512MSH SD card (not sold in some regions).

• Be careful not to touch the microphone while recording.
• Do not press buttons other than the shutter button while filming to 

avoid inadvertent recording of the operation sounds.

• The AE, AF and white balance settings remain fixed for subsequent 

frames at the values selected for the first frame.

• After a clip is shot, the indicator will blink green while the clip is 

being written to the SD card. You cannot shoot again until the 
blinking stops.

• See Functions Available in Each Shooting Mode (p. 160).
• Sound is recorded monaurally.
• There is no shutter sound in movie mode.
• QuickTime 3.0 or later is required to play back movie files (AVI/

Motion JPEG) on a computer. QuickTime (for Windows) is included 
on the Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk. On the Macintosh 
platform, this program is generally bundled with Mac OS 8.5 or later 
operating systems.
