minute, it will automatically restart recording (no scene will be recorded during this recording pause). As a
result, multiple thumbnails will appear for the scene recorded continuously for more than 9 hours, even with one-
time recording of that scene.

possible because the transfer rate varies automatically between approx. 3 - 10 Mbps)
