The frame counter will display the elapsed time; during the
last ten seconds, the counter will turn red and count down the
time. The recording will stop when the shutter-release button
is pressed again or the remaining time has elapsed.
When making audio recordings, be careful not to touch or
cover the microphone. The quality of the recording is
proportional to the subject to microphone distance. For best
results, hold the camera approximately 20cm (8in) from your
