This SD Video Camera can record MPEG2/
MPEG4 motion images and still pictures.
Additionally, using the viewer software,
MediaStage for AV100 (supplied
accessory), the MPEG2/MPEG4 motion
images data can be edited on the personal
computer.
ª About Using an SD Memory
Card
This product is capable of recording in the
MPEG2 format, producing video quality that
is comparable to digital camcorders. To
achieve this level of performance, large
amounts of data must be written to the SD
card in real time.
ª Charging the Battery
Be sure to charge the supplied battery
before use.
≥Refer to Page 12 for the procedures to
attach and charge the battery.
ª Clock setting
Prior to use the clock in this SD Video
Camera needs to be set. Please turn to
page 22 for additional information.
The read and write speed of the SD card
may differ from manufacturer to
manufacturer. In MPEG2 motion image
recording, SD card with the high-speed
transmission rate of 10 MB/s is needed. The
use of SD cards other than the above may
result in the following error message: [This
card cannot record in the MPEG2 mode.]

ª MPEG2/MPEG4 Motion Image
MPEG stands for Moving Picture Experts Group. It is
the name of the standard for the compression and
extension of a digital motion image and sound enacted
by ITU-TS (International Telecommunications UnionTelecommunication Standardization Sector) and ISO
(International Standardization Organization).
The picture data is transferred at a rate of about
30 frames per 1 second under MPEG2 format.
Therefore, you can enjoy a beautiful and smooth
motion image.
The picture data of MPEG4 is inferior to those of
MPEG 2 in smoothness because the number of the
frames transferred in MPEG4 is less than that in
MPEG2. However, it is suitable for use in PC because
the transfer rate is higher.

Generally, if you repeatedly write data on a Memory
Card, the data writing speed is decreased by the
characteristic of the Memory Card.
To recover the data writing speed on available SD
Memory Card, [Clean Up] function is installed in this
unit.
When repeating write data on an SD Memory Card, it
may be suddenly stopped while recording MPEG2
motion images. In this case, an error message [Record
Stopped. Clean up in no data area?] appears. Be sure
to use the function. (l 73)
[Clean Up] is a function to recover the writing speed on
the free space of the SD Memory Card. It may take
