the image is bright.
Navigation time
NAVIGATION (Factory-preset: MANUAL)
5SEC / 15SEC / 30SEC / 60SEC:
The captured image is stored in the memory card
as a thumbnail image when the recording time is
over the navigation time.
For example, “5SEC” is suitable to record short
scenes with the thumbnail images. (੬ pg. 52)
However, the stored thumbnail images may take
up a lot of memory. In this case, using the
memory card with large capacity is
recommended.
MANUAL: Enables thumbnail images to be made
manually. (੬ pg. 52)
