Note
- When you shoot long time with XAVC S or MP4 to the SDHC memory card, the file will be divided into 4 GB files. By using the Action Cam Movie Creator, you can unify the data and treat as 1 file.
- To playback the divided files with the camera, it will be played back continuously. (FDR-X3000/HDR-AS300)
- Operation with all memory cards is not assured. For details about memory cards other than cards manufactured by Sony, contact the individual makers.
- Confirm the direction of the memory card. If you forcibly insert the memory card in the wrong direction, the memory card, memory card slot, or image data maybe damaged.
- Format the memory card with the camera before use.
- Confirm that the connector cover and the battery pack/memory card cover are securely closed and any foreign matter is not stuck in the cover before use. Otherwise, it may result in water immersion.
- When an SDHC memory card is inserted into the camera and the movie format is set to
(FDR-X3000) or
