[Video Repair]

When the recording of a video could not be completed normally, a video file that cannot be played back may be generated (extension “.mdt”).

You can repair the “.mdt” file with this function to make it playable.

bullet02Possible causes for the generation of “.mdt” files are:

– Power turns off during video recording (battery is removed, AC cable is unplugged, power outage while using the AC adaptor, etc.)

– Card removed during video recording

– Card removed while writing to card after video recording

– When an unexpected freeze occurs during video recording/while writing to the card
