you press the camera’s shutter button. Also, the camera’s LCD monitor
may turn off.

Even if MOV-format movies are displayed in the list, they cannot be
saved to a smartphone. Note that depending on the smartphone’s OS,
saving MP4-format movies may not be possible.

Do not hold the camera in the same position for long periods of time.
Even if the camera does not feel too hot, prolonged contact with the same
body part may cause skin redness or blistering due to low-temperature
contact burns. Using a tripod is recommended for people with circulation
problems or very sensitive skin, or when using the camera in very hot
places.
