Notes
• The recordable time of movies varies for the reason that the camera equipped with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) which automatically adjusts image quality depending on
shooting scene. When you record fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the
recordable time is shorter because it spends much memory to record. The recordable
time also vary depending on the shooting condition or subject or setting of image
quality/size.
• The values shown are not the continuous recording time.
• Recording time may depend on shooting conditions and the memory card used.
• When
is indicated, stop recording the movie. The temperature inside the camera
has increased to an unacceptable level.
• For details on movie playback, see page 27.
• It requires a lot of power to perform high quality movie recording or continuous
shooting using the APS-C size 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 is turned off automatically since higher temperatures affect the
quality of the images or burden the internal mechanism of the camera.
• The duration of time available for movie recording is as follows when the camera
starts recording after the power of the camera has been turned off for a while. (The
