Movies
The following table shows the approximate recording times available. These
are the total times for all movie files.
(h (hour), m (minute))
• The recording time of movies varies because the camera uses VBR (Variable Bit
Rate), an encoding method that automatically adjusts image quality according to
the shooting situation.
When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recording time
is shorter because much memory is used.
The recording time also vary depending on the shooting condition or your subject
or the setting of image quality/size.
• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature or
condition of the camera before you start recording. If you frequently recompose or
shoot still images after the power is turned on, the temperature inside the camera
rises and the recording time available will be shorter.
• If the camera stops movie recording due to the temperature, leave the camera for
several minutes with the power turned off. Restart recording after the temperature
inside the camera goes down.
• If you observe the following points, the recording time is longer.
– Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.
– Turn the camera off when it is not being used.
• The maximum size of a movie file is about 2 GB. When the file size is about 2 GB,
the movie recording stops automatically when [File Format] is set to [MP4], and a
new movie file is created automatically when [File Format] is set to [AVCHD].
• The continuous recording time of MP4 12M is approximately 20 minutes (limited
by 2 GB file size).
