∫If scenes do not change smoothly when played back on another device
The images may be still for several seconds at the joins between the scenes if the following 
operations are performed when multiple scenes have been continuously played back using 
another unit.
≥ Just how smoothly the scenes will be play ed back depends on the playback unit. 
Depending on the unit used, the images may stop moving and become still for a moment 
even when none of the following conditions are applicable.
≥ A continuous recording of motion picture data that exceeds 4 GB may momentarily stop at 
every 4 GB of data when played back with another device.
≥ It may not play back smoothly when the editing of scenes was done with 
the HD Writer AE 2.1, but it will play back smooth ly if you set the seamless settings in the 
HD Writer AE 2.1. Refer to the operating instructions for the HD Writer AE 2.1.
Principal reasons for not playing back smoothly
≥ When the scenes were recorded on different dates
≥ When scenes lasting under 3 seconds have been recorded
≥ When PRE-REC was used for recording
≥ When the Interval recording is used
≥ When deleting scenes
≥ When selected scenes are copied between an SD card and the built-in memory/
HDD
≥  When selected scenes are copied to a disc in a connected DVD burner.
≥ When scenes recorded with more than 99 scenes on the same date
