• The above figures are based on our standard shooting conditions and may vary depending on the subject, shooting conditions and type of the SD Memory Card used. If other data such as still images are recorded, recording time becomes shorter.

• Recording can continue until the built-in memory or the SD Memory Card is full, or the size of the recorded movie reaches 2 GB (when using an SDHC card). If recording stops at 2 GB, start recording again to continue to record the rest of the movie in blocks of 2 GB.

User questions

Mary T.

Why does the camera prompt for date adjustment and then power off immediately, and what is the solution?

This behavior typically indicates that the battery is depleted or has been left without a charge for a prolonged period, causing the date and time settings to revert to their default. To resolve this, fully charge the rechargeable lithium-ion battery (D-LI92). Charging takes approximately 120 minutes maximum. After charging, ensure the battery is correctly installed and proceed to set the current date and time when the adjustment screen appears.

How to enable or disable digital zoom?

Press the Menu button in capture mode, select Digital Zoom in the Rec. Mode menu, and choose On (O) or Off (P). Using digital zoom may result in grainier images compared to optical zoom.

Linda V.

How to adjust sharpness, saturation, and contrast settings?

These parameters can be adjusted via the camera menu. Sharpness can be set to Soft, Normal, or Sharp. Saturation and Contrast can be adjusted to Low, Normal, or High. By default, all three are set to Normal.
