The recording screen is displayed like a frame dropping with a slight delay compared 
to normal recording.
 ●
Portrait orientation recording does not affect the blurred part. (The left and right edges 
will be blurred.)
 ●
No audio is recorded for motion pictures.
 ●
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 time 
needed for 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 
until a certain time. Hold the camera until the camera stops recording.
 ●
When you take a picture using a large picture size 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.
