About the operation sound that is produced when you stop recording

Since motion picture recording stops only after you press the motion picture button, the sound of the operation may be noticeable. If the sound bothers you, try the following:

–Divide the last part of the motion picture using [Video Divide] (P72) in the [Playback] menu.

The motion picture may not be divided near the very end of it. To avoid this, record approximately 3 seconds longer.

–Set the camera to Creative Video Mode, and use a shutter remote control (optional) to record motion pictures.

•When the motion picture size is set to [FHD], [HD] or [VGA] in [MP4], you can continuously record a motion picture up to 29 minutes 59 seconds or until the file size reaches 4 GB. You can check the recordable time on the screen.

–Since the file size becomes larger with [FHD], recording with [FHD] will stop before 29 minutes 59 seconds.

•You can continuously record a motion picture with its size set to [4K] in [MP4] without a pause even if the motion picture exceeds 4 GB. However, the recorded content has to be played back as multiple files.

•Though a [MP4 (LPCM)]/[MOV] motion picture can be recorded continuously without a pause even when its file size exceeds 4 GB, the recorded content is played back with multiple files.
