Movies Back Playing and Recording

Area Captured in Movies

The area that is captured in a movie varies depending on Movie frame size (A37).

When recording movies while Electronic VR (A83) in the camera settings is set to Auto, the angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) is narrow compared to that of still images.

Maximum Movie Recording Time

Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.

The remaining recording time for a single movie is displayed on the shooting screen.

The actual remaining recording time may vary depending on the movie content, subject movement, or type of memory card.

Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording movies (A120). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class rating are used.

B Notes About Camera Temperature

The camera may become hot when shooting movies for an extended period of time or when the camera is used in a hot area.

If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the camera will automatically stop recording.

The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (u10s) is displayed.

After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.

Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.
