   • When the SD card lacks sufficient space to create a new file, only [Overwrite] can be selected.
     

The minimum duration of an edited movie is 1 second. It may take approximately 3 minutes to save an edited movie. If the battery pack runs out of charge partway through, edited movie clips cannot be saved. When editing movies, use a fully charged battery pack or the separately sold AC Adapter Kit.
