recording times when shooting, not durations when playing back.)

• Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a product specification limit). However, the duration of time available for continuous movie recording varies under the following conditions. – High Frame Rate shooting: Approximately 7 minutes at [30p 16M]/[25p 16M];

approximately 5 minutes 30 seconds at [24p 12M]

– When the file format is set to MP4 (28M): Approximately 20 minutes (limited

by file size of 4 GB)

• The recordable time of 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 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

20°C (68°F) About 29 minutes About 20 minutes 30°C (86°F) About 29 minutes About 20 minutes

40°C (104°F) About 29 minutes About 20 minutes

HD: XAVC S HD 60p 50M/50p 50M 4K: XAVC S 4K 24p 60M

• 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.
