After taking the video footage and you stop,the following shots are not continuous. They are segmented. No continuity?

Yes, all footage is segmented into thumbnail format and you have to select that particular footage to be viewed

K., I am sorry, we have used the SD card to dump still shots onto instead of taking up the limited space... we have not used it for video. Typically we shoot our segments, put them to an editing program within a week and clear the memory to optimize its limited space. Sorry I could not be of more help. You may consider going to Canon's help site to see if they have a resolution.

Only (low res) video frame grabs afterwards. Camera auto processes the stills into a video file

If you are playing a video of course you can pause it and resume it. If you are talking to do that while you are recording a video I did not see that option.

If you are looking at the video on the unit that's not unusual because of limited (aka "slow.) playback memory. What the skipping usually is, is that the playback stops to take time to load more video, play, stop to load more video. That's usually the source of the problem and is not actually on the video that way but rather just how the playback works. Have you downloaded the video to your computer and assuming that your is relatively new and fast, you may (should) find that the video runs normally.

That is not correct. You were probably in manual focus, or someone setup some strange focus points. I use this camara for filming hunting, and the focus must change constantly and have never had the issue you decribe. BTW love this camera. Great quality, but cheap enough that I dont feel I need to baby it every minute.

If you set the Video AF to "Continuous" it does indeed seek a lot especially if there is any motion in your subject. If not in Continuous mode, it will stay fixed.

That's because of the bit architecture of the memory card. Like computers, there is a limitation to how long a file can be. Once the file hits the size limit, the camera automatically starts a new file and continues. No worries though, not a single frame is skipped and you'd never know when the video is played. This is normal for most tapeless cameras.

I have captured still photos while recording by pressing the shutter button. the picture is captured and the recording continues. I was also confused with this, but when I reviewed the video I eventual saw the pictures taken after the video play back. Yes, I agree this camera is awesome. if you have a smartphone or tablet the sony app turn them into remote controls for the camera through Wi-Fi. I am sorry, if too much info, please disregard.

You need to play with the settings for video. It seems like you have the lapse feature on, which records in chunks as small as 1 minute; you can disable that and record without interruptions. The screen will automatically disable after 3 minutes of recording.

If you turn off the loop, the camera would stop recording once the micro sd card is the full. The reason that the camera does short video clips is because, once the camera is full, the camera delete the oldest video clip first, then 'overwrite' the video. This is the reason that the camera only creates short video clips. Hope the info helps. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach us.

Here is an example, first part was recorded at 120fps, after minute 0:37 it was recorded at 240fps. http://youtu.be/KXRVxfTo76E

It records one video, as long as there is motion to record. Once it stops, it does not restart, so is not actually motion activated, which would continue to start and stop, each time there was motion to record.

Are you holding the camera still until it's finished taking all the shots? It takes more than one shot and combines them together.

When you hit record the first time, it goes into flashing pause mode. Then you hit record again and it records. After that it stays recording until you hit stop. That's not a defective, that just shows you certain settings on the screen before you hit record the second time. Mine has been working great.

I returned one of these camera because of a similar problem. I noticed a white flickering dot during playback. I observed while filming and the dot was present on the LCD screen. I got a second one and the dot wasnt there at first. It came back on the second camera but in a different place. I'm baffled and wish i could find more info on this issue. If anyone has more info on this, let me know!

Does the camera stop after capturing 2GB of video or does it start a new file? I realize that it is very rare for most people to shoot a single clip that is longer than 5 minutes, but if the camera quietly quits capturing after 2GB, then that might be a problem.
