- Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 4" or
higher when recording motion pictures in [AVCHD] or
[MP4 (under 28Mbps)].
- 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 29 minutes and 59 seconds with [AVCHD] in
Europe.
- Recording stops when the continuous recording time
exceeds 29 minutes and 59 seconds or the file size
exceeds 4GB with [MP4] in [FHD] [HD].
- Recording stops when the continuous recording time
exceeds 29 minutes and 59 seconds with [MP4] in [4K].
- MP4 motion pictures with [MP4] in [4K]:
- When using a SDHC memory card: You can continue
