Disclaimer
We shall not be liable for any loss of recorded contents when videos or audio cannot be recorded or played back properly due to malfunction of this unit and accessories that come with it or the SD card.

Memo
Check that the remaining recording time in the media is sufficient before you start recording. Checking the Remaining Battery Level and Recording Time
If the remaining recording time is not sufficient, save the files on a PC or disc before deleting the files from the unit. Deleting Unwanted Files
Due to the specifications of this unit, continuous recording for a duration of 12 hours or longer is not possible when recording is performed with “System” set to “HD”. Recording stops automatically 12 hours after it is started.
(It may take some time to resume recording.)
Up to 4GB per video file can be recorded. File recorded using long recordings that exceeds 4GB is split and recorded into several video files. However, recording up to 64 GB or 4 hours is possible when “4 GB Spanning” is set to “Off (SDXC)” (This is configurable only when “System” is set to “4K” or “High-Speed”, and when an SDXC card is used.)
Depending on the shooting conditions, the four corners of the screen may appear dark, but this is not a malfunction. In this case, change the shooting conditions by moving the zoom lever, etc.
