Depending on the motion picture recording environment, static electricity or 
electromagnetic waves may cause the screen to go black momentarily or noise to be 
recorded.

 

●

When recording motion pictures, it is recommended to use a sufficiently charged 
battery or an AC adaptor (optional) and DC coupler (optional). 

 

●

When recording motion pictures using an AC adaptor, if you unplug the AC adaptor or a 
power outage occurs, power to the camera is cut, and the motion picture in progress is 
no longer recorded. 

 

●

If you attempt to play motion pictures recorded with the camera on other devices, 
playback may not be possible, or the picture or sound quality may be poor. 
Additionally, incorrect recording information may be indicated.

Set ISO Sensitivity (sensitivity to lighting) manually.
We recommend higher settings to take clear pictures in darker locations.
