The recording time and capacity is an approximation.
You should format the Memory Card on the CAM. (Refer to page 103)
Do not format the Memory Card on the PC.
The recording time and the number of images shown are maximum figures based on using one function.
In actual use, using more than one function will reduce the capacity of each.
✤ If you set the flash on, you can take fewer photos than mentioned number of images.
✤ While saving in the memory card that you have, sometimes recording may stop with the message popping up saying that  It is because the writing speed of the memory card is slow.
It is recommended to use a memory card of 1.25MB/sec or greater.
