The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable time.

Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes at one time. The maximum size of an
MP4-format movie file is up to approximately 2 GB.

Note

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.
