Movie Playback Precautions
• To play back a movie, first save it to your computer and then double-click the movie
file. Proper movie playback may not be possible for data accessed over a network,
from a memory card, etc.
• Proper movie playback may not be possible on some computers. If you experience
problems, try the following.
– Try recording movies with a quality setting of “STD”.
– Quit any other applications you have running, and stop resident applications.
Even if proper playback is not possible on the computer, you can use a commercially
available HDMI cable to connect to the HDMI terminal of a TV and play back movies
that way.
