Notes
• The recordable time for 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 fast-moving subjects, the image is clearer but the
recordable time is shorter, because more memory is required. The recordable time
also varies depending on the shooting conditions or subject or the image quality/size
settings.
• The values shown are not for continuous recording time.
• Recording time may depend on shooting conditions and the memory card used.
• When
is displayed, stop recording. The temperature inside the camera has
increased to an unacceptable level.
• For details on movie playback, see page 28.
