(29 minutes) has been reached, and then continued by pressing the MOVIE button
again. Other functions, such as zooming, are not operated.

• Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a product
specification limit). The maximum continuous recording time of an MP4
(12M) format movie is about 20 minutes (limited by the 2 GB file size
restriction).
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.
