Recording Videos

This camera is capable of recording videos. Since video recording requires significant memory capacity, it is highly recommended to use SD/SDHC cards with this feature. The available recording time depends on the capacity of the memory card. Videos can be recorded until the maximum memory capacity has been reached.
