(Continued) Q&A Troubleshooting
[MOTION RECORDING WAS CANCELLED DUE TO THE LIMITATION OF THE WRITING
SPEED OF THE CARD]
●
When recording motion picture, use a card rated with an SD speed class
∗
of ‘Class 6’ or higher.
∗
SD speed class refers to a specification for sustained write speeds.
●
If recording stops even when using a card with speed of ‘Class 6’ or faster, the data writing speed is
low. We recommend backing up the data on the memory card and reformatting it. (→40)
●
Motion picture recording may be automatically terminated with certain cards.

- Turn the camera off, and leave it for about 2 hours in a place with constant ambient temperature.
The fog will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera gets close to the ambient
temperature.
- If the fog does not disappear, it may help to open the card/battery door or terminal cover for
about 2 hours, avoiding places with high temperature and humidity. (Do not open or close
around water)
→ When moving between places of different temperature or humidity, place camera into a plastic
bag and allow to adjust to conditions before use.
