* About motion picture recording / 4K PHOTO recording

 

 

 

-Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 4" or higher when recording motion pictures.

-Use a card with SD Speed Class with "UHS-I UHS Speed Class 3 (U3)" when recording motion pictures with [MP4] in [4K] or [4K PHOTO]. (SD speed class is the speed standard regarding continuous writing.)

-Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 20 minutes in [FHD/60p] [FHD/60i].

-Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 5 minutes with [MP4] in [4K].

-MP4 motion pictures with [MP4] in [4K]:

-When using an microSDHC memory card: You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4 GB, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.

-When using an microSDXC memory card: You can record a motion picture in a single file.

-MP4 motion pictures with [MP4] in [FHD] [HD]:

-You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4 GB, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.

-When the ambient temperature is high or continuous recording is performed, the camera may stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.

** For [4K] video output, use an HDMI cable that has the HDMI logo on it, and that is described as"4K compatible".
