Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a product
specification limit). The maximum continuous recording time of an MP4 (12M)
format movie is about 15 minutes (limited by the 2 GB file size restriction).
The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR
(Variable Bit-Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the
shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but
the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording.
The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject
or the image quality/size settings.

This manual describes 1080 60i-compatible devices and 1080 50i-compatible devices.

This camera is compatible with 1080 60p or 50p-format movies. Unlike standard
recording modes up to now, which record in an interlacing method, this camera
records using a progressive method. This increases the resolution, and provides a
smoother, more realistic image. Movies recorded in 1080 60p/1080 50p format
can be played back only on 1080 60p/1080 50p-supported devices.
While aboard an airplane, set [Airplane Mode] to [On].
