*The maximum movie recording time (maximum movie length for a single movie) is 4 GB or 29 minutes, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card. The maximum movie length for a single movie is displayed on the screen during movie recording. If the camera becomes hot, a movie recording in progress may be terminated even if there is more time available for recording.

After removing the memory card, check the indicator showing maximum movie length that can be stored in the internal memory (approx. 21 MB) on the screen during recording.
