Symptom

The actual recording
time is less than the
estimated time.
The estimated recording time may vary depending on contents and features
used.
Recording a fast-moving subject increases the bitrate and consequently the
amount of storage space required for the recording, which can lead to a
shorter available recording time.
•
•
The recording stops
automatically.
There is no more free space for recording on the storage media.
Back up important files on your PC and format the storage media or delete the
unnecessary files.
If you frequently record or delete files, the performance of the built-in flash memo-
ry will deteriorate. In this case, reformat the built-in memory.
If you use the memory card with low writing speed, the camcorder
automatically stops recording the videos and the corresponding message
appears on the LCD screen.
