The available recording time depends on the capacity of the memory card. Videos can be recorded until the maximum memory capacity has been reached. However the length of a single video clip is limited to 4 GB. To increase the recording length, lower the video quality settings (See page 22 for details).

Using the Stabilizer Feature

The Stabilizer feature is for Photo taking only. This feature is designed to help reduce the blurring effects on photos caused by slight camera movement. It is important to note that this feature cannot compensate for all movement and lighting situations and that in many cases may slow the camera’s ability to auto focus.
How does it work? It works according to the luminance of the target object. This function uses special image data processing to optimise the high sensitivity of CCD sensor (also known as the digital film). High sensitivity allows the use of faster shutter speeds compared to the default mode, so it may reduce blurring caused by camera movement.
To activate Stabilizer
Press the • Stabilizer button located on the top of the camera to enable/disable stabilizer.
If Stabilizer is enabled, the stabilizer icon is displayed on the LCD monitor and the ISO setting is automatically set to Auto. See “Setting ISO” on page 43 for more details.

Setting the Zoom Control

Using a combination of 4 times optical zoom and 5 times digital zoom permits zoom photography at up to 20 times magnification. While the digital zoom can be a useful feature, the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more pixelated (grainier) the image may appear. Please refer to “Setting the Digital Zoom” on page 48 on how to setup digital zoom.
To adjusts the optical zoom:
Move the Zoom toggle to the left 1. to zoom out or to the right to zoom in.

This mode is designed to accurately focus on a desired subject so that closer and further objects are out of focus. For example, the camera might focus on a nearby tree, and the distant trees and mountains are blurry, as well as an even closer object such as a flower.
When Infinity is set, the camera focuses on distant objects. This may be good to use when taking landscape photos.

About Folder and File Names

Your camera automatically creates specific directory of folder in the internal memory cards to organize captured images, videos and audio files.
File Naming
File names begin with “HPIM” and followed by a 4-digit number that increases in sequence. File numbering starts from 0001 when a new folder is created.
If the highest folder number is 999 and the highest file number exceeds 9999, the camera will display the warning message “Folder cannot be created.” When this happens, try one of the following ways:
Resetthelenumber.See“SettingFileNumbering”onpage• 68.
Plug in a new memory card.•
Do not change the folder and file names in the memory card using your PC. It may be unable to playback the data using the camera.
