* Available video clip recording time is shown when a re-formatted card is inserted. * Photo capacities and video recording times are approximations only and may vary according to the memory card type and manufacturer, the subject and the 
shooting conditions. Particularly, when a low-speed SD card is used with HD-SHQ mode, consecutive shooting may be limited to only a few seconds. * When continuous recording time exceeds approximately 13 hours for audio, the file will 
be saved, and the subsequent data will be saved in a new file. Similarly, when the recording file size exceeds 4 GB, the file will be saved and subsequent data will be saved in a new file. (A new file is automatically created for every 4 GB. 
Although recording will continue until stopped, recording of video clips and sound will stop while files are being saved.)
