Hint
- The movies and still images before starting loop recording cannot be deleted.
- On the recording media life and the write time
- If you keep long time recording at a high bit rate in the loop recording mode, the memory card life may be shorter significantly.
If you lower the recording bit rate in long recording, you may minimize bad effects on the memory card life.
- If you record movies for a long time in the loop recording mode, the data in a memory card may become into smaller parts. Due to the data fragmentation of a memory card, the camera may take time to write and stop movie recording automatically.
Formatting a memory card may improve the recording conditions.
Also, you may minimize bad effects of the data fragmentation by formatting a memory card in advance to increase the free space of memory.
- If you keep long time recording at a high bit rate in the loop recording mode, the memory card life may be shorter significantly.
- The loop recording cannot be started if you have not secured the enough free space on the memory card for recording. In that case, the caution [SHORT] appears on the screen.
