If a single scene exceeds 4 GB during motion picture recording, recording 
continues as a separate scene.
Recording fast-moving objects or repeatedly writing on the same SD card 
numerous times shortens recording time.
Mosaic-like interference may be generated on playback screens in the 
following circumstances:
  • Complicated pictures in background

If recording stops
• Recording may stop suddenly if an incompatible SD card has been inserted 
(P.20).
• Even with usable SD cards, recording may stop if you repeatedly write on 
the same SD card. Copy data onto a PC using MotionSD STUDIO, then 
format the SD card with this unit. (When formatted, all data on the SD card 
is erased.)
