Canon PowerShot SD30

Shooting Movies

The recording time may not display properly 

or filming may stop unexpectedly.

The following types of 
memory cards are used.

- Slow recording cards.
- Cards formatted on a 

different camera or a 
computer.

- Cards which have had 

images recorded and 
erased repeatedly.

Although the recording time may not 

display properly during shooting, the 
movie will be recorded correctly on 
the memory card. Recording time 
will display properly if you format the 
memory card in this camera 
(excluding slow recording memory 
cards) (p. 26).

"!" displays frequently in the LCD monitor.

If free space in the 
camera's built-in memory 
becomes too scarce, the 
"!" symbol will display on 
the LCD monitor in red 
and the camera will 
automatically cease 
filming shortly thereafter.

 Try the following procedures.

- Reformat the memory card before 

- Lower the resolution (p. 37). 
- Use a high-speed memory card 

(SDC-512MSH, etc.).
