●

The recording screen is displayed like a frame dropping with a slight delay compared 

to normal recording.

 

●

Portrait orientation recording does not affect the blurred part. (The left and right edges 

will be blurred.)

 

●

No audio is recorded for motion pictures.

 

●

When a motion picture is recorded, the finished recording will be approximately 1/8th 

of the actual recorded time period. (If you record a motion picture for 8 minutes, 

the resulting motion picture recording time will be approximately 1 minute.) The 

recordable time displayed on the camera is approx. 8x longer than actual time needed 

for recording. When the recording mode is changed, be sure to check the recordable 

time.

 

●

If you stop recording motion pictures too soon, the camera may continue recording 

until a certain time. Hold the camera until the camera stops recording.

 

●

When you take a picture using a large picture size setting, the screen will become 

dark for a certain period of time after the picture is taken. However, this occurs due to 

signal processing and is not a defect.
