Recording a video
Record videos up to 20 minutes in length in high definition.
The camera saves the recorded video as an H.264 (MPEG-4.
AVC) file.
•H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is a high-compression video format
established by international standard organizations ISO/IEC and
ITU-T.
•Some memory cards may not support high definition recording. If this
occurs, set a lower resolution. (p. 36)
•If you have activated the Optical Image Stabilization, the camera may
record your video with the sounds the OIS makes when operating.
