  • The size of photos becomes 1,920 1,080.

  • You cannot record sound.

  • Image quality is not as good as that of normal recording.

  • [REC Mode] will be set to [Standard ] automatically.

  • Impact sound may be detected by the internal microphone even when an external microphone is attached.
