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. • For details on movie playback, see page 33. 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 is as follows when the camera starts recording after the power of the camera has been turned off for a while. (The following values indicate the continuous time from when the camera starts recording until the camera stops recording.) Ambient temperature Continuous recording time for movies 20°C (68°F) About 29 minutes 30°C (86°F) About 29 minutes 40°C (104°F) About 25 minutes • 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. • When is indicated, stop recording the movie. The temperature inside the camera has increased to an unacceptable level. • 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. GB 44
