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.

pictures. Also, if the aspect ratio is different for still pictures and motion pictures, the 
angle of view will change when starting to record a motion picture. The recordable 
area is displayed by setting [Video Rec Area] (→48) to [ON].
 
If Extended optical zoom is used before pressing the motion picture button, these 
settings will be cleared, and the recordable area will be changed significantly.
 
Depending on the environment when recording motion pictures, the screen may 
turn black for an instant or noise may be recorded because of static electricity, 
electromagnetic waves, etc.
 
This unit automatically adjusts the aperture during motion picture recording. At such 
times, the sound may break up. This is not a malfunction.
