This means that the recording times will be shorter when fast-moving subjects have been recorded.Times displayed include time needed for processing, etc. – actual available recording times will beslightly shorter.The camera is capable of continuous recording for a maximum of 1 hours.Mosaic-like noise may appear on the playback screen under the following shooting conditions:When there are complex patterns in the backgroundWhen the camera is moved in large motions or when it is moved very quicklyWhen a fast-moving subject has been recorded (and especially when HE has been set as the recording mode)Repeatedly recording or deleting images over and over again may reduce the recording time on the SDMemory Card. In such cases, format the SD Memory Card using the camera. When a card is formatted,all of its recorded data will be erased, and it will not be subsequently possible to restore this data. Saveany valuable data on your PC prior to formatting.••••��•
