If recording is stopped immediately after it begins,
1 second of the movie is recorded onto the Memory

See p.122 for information on recording times per
Memory Card or internal memory.
CAUTION
Because a movie is recorded onto the Memory Card or
internal memory as it is saved, it cannot be recorded
correctly if the camera suddenly loses power (if the
batteries run out or the AC power adapter is
disconnected).
A movie file taken by FinePix F480 / FinePix F485 may
not be playable on other cameras.
Because sound is recorded concurrently with the
images, make sure that you do not cover the
microphone with a finger, etc. (p.10).
Camera operation noises may be recorded during
movie shooting.
If you shoot using the xD-Picture Cards with model
numbers containing M such as DPC-M1GB, movie
recording time may be reduced if you repeatedly record
and erase (frame erase) image files.
In such a case, erase all frames or format the
