of the actual recorded time period. (If you record a motion picture for 8 minutes,
the resulting motion picture recording time will be approximately 1 minute.) The
recordable time displayed on the camera is approx. 8x longer than actual recording.
When the recording mode is changed, be sure to check the recordable time.

When a motion picture is recorded, the finished recording will be approximately 1/10th
of the actual recorded time period. (If you record a motion picture for 10 minutes,
the resulting motion picture recording time will be approximately 1 minute.) The
recordable time displayed on the camera is approx. 10x longer than actual recording.
When the recording mode is changed, be sure to check the recordable time.

If you stop recording motion pictures too soon, the camera may continue recording for
a certain time. Hold the camera still until the camera stops recording.

When you take a picture using a large resolution setting, the screen will become dark
for a certain period of time after the picture is taken. However, this occurs due to
signal processing and is not a defect.
