Basic Operations
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.

The upper limit for the number of clips which 
can be recorded on a single SD Memory Card

set to ON.)
Mosaic-like noise may appear on the playback 
screen under the following shooting conditions:
When there are complex patterns in the

When the camera is moved in large motions 
or when it is moved very quickly
When a fast-moving subject has been recorded

Checking photos taken (REC CHECK)
Press the REC CHECK/PHOTO SHOT button 
(Page 0) while in recording standby mode. The 
last two seconds of video and audio will be played, 
and the camera returns to recording standby 
mode.
Only the POWER and START/STOP buttons are 
operable during REC CHECK.
The REC CHECK images are also recorded 
when a device is connected to the camera and 
backup images have been recorded.
The REC CHECK function does not work when 
PB has been selected as the operation mode or 
when connected to a computer. 
This function also does not work after recording 
if the REC FORMAT has been changed, or if the 
camera has been set to CAMERA mode after 
having switched to another mode (PB, PHOTO, 
etc.).
This function does not work if the SD Memory 
Card is removed and reinserted.
