Proper movie playback may not be possible for data accessed over a network, from a memory card, etc.
• Proper movie playback may not be possible on some computers.
If you experience problems, try the following.
- Change the movie image quality setting to "STD".
- Upgrade to the latest version of Quick Time.
- Shut down other applications that are running.
Even if proper playback is not possible on your computer, you can use an optionally available AV cable (EMC-8A) to connect to the video input terminal of a TV or computer and play back movies that way.
