Shooting movies

• Continuous movie shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes maximum at 

one time with the camera’s default settings, and when the ambient temperature is 
approximately 25°C (77°F) (the duration of time available for movie recording 
varies depending on the temperature environment, the recording format/setting, or 
the usage conditions of the camera before you start recording (page 33)). When 
movie recording is finished, you can restart recording by pressing the MOVIE 
button again. The recording may stop in order to protect the camera depending on 
the temperature of the camera or the battery.

• Do not pull up the flash manually. This may cause a malfunction.
• When using the zoom function while shooting a movie, the sound of the camera 

operating will be recorded. The sound of the MOVIE button operating may also be 
recorded when movie recording is finished.
