Because a movie is recorded onto the xD-Picture Card as it is saved, it cannot be recorded correctly if the camera
suddenly loses power (if you open the battery cover or disconnect the AC power adapter).
It may not be possible to playback your movies on other cameras.
If you shoot using the DPC-M512/M1GB xD-Picture Card, movie recording time may be reduced if
you repeatedly record and erase (frame erase) image files. In such a case, erase all frames or
format the picture card before use. Back up important frames (files) onto your PC or another
media.
