Navigation time
NAVIGATION (Factory-preset: MANUAL)
5SEC / 15SEC / 30SEC / 60SEC:
The captured image is stored in the memory card
as a thumbnail image when the recording time is
over the navigation time.
For example, “5SEC” is suitable to record short
scenes with the thumbnail images. (
੬ pg. 46)
However, the stored thumbnail images may take
up a lot of memory. In this case, using the
memory card with large capacity is
recommended.
MANUAL: Enables thumbnail images to be made
manually. (
