• The longer the recording time, the poorer the

image quality.

• The camcorder does not perform relay recording

with the memory cards during [SMOOTH
SLOW REC]. If the space on the memory card
is insufficient, the camcorder records movies
only as long as there is space available.

• The time of the movie recorded using

[SMOOTH SLOW REC] is recorded after being
converted to slow-motion, not the time when the
movie is actually shot.

• Progressive recording is not available for

[SMOOTH SLOW REC]. The progressive
setting is changed to the interlace setting
automatically.

• [SMOOTH SLOW REC] is not available when

the recording format of high definition image
quality (HD) is set to 720/50p.

standard definition image quality (SD) does not
change.
