time by several seconds (p. 50).
• Depending on video quality settings, on-screen display may
become difficult to decipher. Set after confirming appearance
on actual images.
• Block noise may become noticeable if a large video size and
low target bit rate are set.

other undesirable conditions continue for a prolonged
period, lower the video size or quality setting.

• Note that if you are using included RM-Lite, the hard disk
usage will also be affected during recording.
