Screen Displays during Movie Recording
You can record Motion JPEG movies with the camcorder, from a tape in the camcorder or from devices connected via the DV terminal or the AV terminal. The sound of a movie recorded on a memory card will be monaural.
- Press the start/stop button to begin recording.
- With SD Memory Cards up to 512 MB, you can record until "CARD FULL" appears (approx. 33 minutes with a 512 MB SD Memory Card). With MultiMediaCards, the recording time is limited to 10 sec. in 320 x 240 pixels and 30 sec. in 160 x 120 pixels.
- Press the start/stop button to stop recording.
- Do not turn off the camcorder, change the position of the TAPE/CARD switch, disconnect the power source, open the memory card cover or remove the memory card while the card access indicator is flashing. Doing so could result in data damage.
- When you are using a SD Memory Card, make sure that the protect switch is set to allow recording.
- Do not load/unload a cassette during recording.

- We recommend using a Canon SD Memory Card, or a SD Memory Card with a transfer rate of more than 2 MB/sec., right after you have formatted it with this camcorder. With memory cards not formatted with this camcorder, or when recording/erasing has been repeatedly performed, the writing speed may be lower and recording may stop.
- You can select the focusing point when recording a movie on the memory card.
- Users of Windows XP: When you plan to connect the camcorder to a computer, keep the length of one movie shorter than approx. 12 min. in 320 x 240 and 35 min. in 160 x 120.
