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.
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 with the camera’s default settings 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: 25°C (77°F)
Continuous recording time for movies: About 29 minutes (However, the recording time
is about 5 minutes when recording in XAVC S 4K or XAVC S HD 120p/100p format.)
The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature,
the recording format/setting, 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.
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.
