* When using a MultiMedia Card (MMC) the maximum recording time
of
movies
is
10
seconds
(at
1320
320x240) or
30
seconds (at
1160
160x120).
o Depending
on
the number
of
images on the memory card, you may not be able
to download images to a computer (Windows: more than 1800 images;
Macintosh: more than 1000 images).
In
such case, use a card reader.
o Connection to a PictBridge compatible printer will not work when the memory
card contains more than 1800 images. For best performance, we recommend
to keep the number
of
images on the memory card less than 100.
o Users
of
Windows XP: When you plan to connect the camcorder to a computer
using a USB cable, keep the length
of
one movie shorter than approx. 12 min.
