Why does my Panasonic HDC-SD80 arbitrarily stop recording?
Use an SD card that can be used for motion picture recording. The recordable time may have shortened due to the deterioration of the data writing speed or repeated recording and deletion, using the unit, format the SD card, built-in memory or HDD. If [AGS] is [ON], record in the normal horizontal position or set [AGS] to [OFF]. If the unit is exposed to strong vibrations or shocks while recording on HDD, recording may stop to protect the HDD. Recording data on an SD card is recommended in these places.
