Checking the number of images and recordable time of movies 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. • The values shown are not for continuous recording time. • The recording time may differ depending on shooting conditions and the memory card used. • When is indicated, stop recording the movie. The temperature inside the camera has increased to an unacceptable level. • For details on movie playback, see page 49. 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 varies with the temperature 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. • 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. • If you observe the following points, the recording time will be 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, 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 maximum continuous recording time is 29 minutes.
