The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable time.
Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (limited by product
specifications). For [1280x720(Fine)] size movies, continuous shooting is possible
for approximately 15 minutes (limited by 2 GB file size).

Notes

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.
You cannot record movies to the internal memory when the movie image size is
[1280x720(Fine)] or [1280x720(Standard)].
