Navigation time
NAVIGATION (Factory-preset: MANUAL)
5SEC / 15SEC / 30SEC / 60SEC:

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.
