H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest • video coding format established in 2003 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T.

If you use a slow writing memory card, your • movie's recording can be interrupted because the card can not process data at the rate the video is being shot. If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory card or reduce the image size.
