Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes for each shooting (limited by product specifications). For
[MP4 12M] size movies, continuous shooting is possible for approximately 20 minutes (limited by 2 GB file size).
Note
The recordable time of movies varies because the product 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.
Notes on continuous movie recording
It requires a lot of power to perform high quality movie recording or continuous shooting using the image sensor.
Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In
such cases, the camera turns off automatically since higher temperatures affect the quality of the images or affect the
internal mechanism of the camera.
The duration of time available for movie recording is as follows when the camera starts recording with the camera’s
default settings after the power of the camera has been turned off for a while. (The following values indicate the
continuous time from when the camera starts recording until the camera stops recording.)
Ambient temperature: 20°C (68°F) Continuous recording time for movies: About 29 minutes
Ambient temperature: 30°C (86°F) Continuous recording time for movies: About 29 minutes
Ambient temperature: 40°C (104°F) Continuous recording time for movies: About 20 minutes
The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature, the recording format/setting, or
condition of the camera before you start recording. If you frequently recompose or shoot images after the power is
turned on, the temperature inside the camera will rise and the recording time available will be shorter.
When is indicated, stop recording the movie.
If the camera stops recording due to the temperature, leave it for several minutes with the power turned off. Start
recording after the temperature inside the camera drops fully.
