The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable time.

All numbers are measured when using “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media made by Sony Corporation. The recordable time for movies varies depending on the recording conditions, subject conditions, and the type of “Memory Stick” media.

Before the continuous shooting ends, the recording time indicator flashes, and after a while, the recording will automatically stop.

Your camera uses the VBR (Variable Bit Rate) format to automatically adjust image quality to suit the recording scene. This technology causes fluctuations in the recording time of the “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media. Movies containing quickly moving and complex images are recorded at a higher bit rate, and this reduces the overall recording time.
