    Here's a tip. On ANY device that uses an SD card for continuous recording you will periodically need to "format" the card. Continuous read-write cycles cause the "bits and bytes" to get fragmented and eventually glitches in the recorded media will occur. To format a card, use the "format" option from the playback menu (on your device, press "mode" twice to get into the playback area, and then "Menu" and then "format.") If the device does not have an on-board "format" function, then just put the memory card into any computer and right-click the removable drive that appears and click "format." Do this once per month or so kinda like an "oil change" on SD memory cards and they will stay running optimally for a long time.
