It may not be speeded up. It may be that the your video player is causing it, or that you have things running in the background that is affecting playback. This can also happen when encoding the video to burn to DVD. Have you tried playing it in another player?

This happened to me as well...when I played the video on the camera it was sped up? So I thought maybe that it was just the camera doing it so I put the video on my computer and it was still sped up! Is there a way to fix this????

I have seen this mentioned before regarding this camera. I THINK the issue is that the G9 offers a time lapse video mode as well as a regular one, and it is very easy to confuse the two, and if you are shooting in time lapse, it will play back at something like triple speed. On the top dial of your camera, select Movie mode, and then use the scroll wheel on the back of the camera to select movie mode. This should be the same area where you can select the resolution/ quality of the video. Make sure not to select time lapse.

Let me know if that fixes it.
