Troubleshooting
[MOTION RECORDING WAS CANCELLED DUE TO THE LIMITATION OF THE WRITING
SPEED OF THE CARD]
●
When recording motion picture, use a card rated with an SD speed class
∗
of ‘Class 6’ or higher.
∗
SD speed class refers to a specification for sustained write speeds.
●
If recording stops even when using a card with speed of ‘Class 6’ or faster, the data writing speed is
low. We recommend backing up the data on the memory card and reformatting it. (
