Note on Saving Movies
After a movie has been recorded, it is not fully saved to the internal memory or memory card until
the monitor display returns to the shooting display.

card slot cover before movies have been fully saved. Removing the memory card while movies are
being saved could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.
