until the camera stops recording.)
• 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 rises
and the recording time available is shorter than the values indicated in the table
above.
• 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.

– Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.
– Turn the camera off when it is not being used.
