Recording and Playing Back Movies
Area Captured in Movies
• The area that is captured in a movie varies depending on the Movie
options settings in the movie menu.
• If Photo info in Monitor settings (A121) in the setup menu is set to
Movie frame+auto info, you can confirm the area that will be captured in
a movie before you start recording.
Maximum Movie Recording Time
Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even
when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.
• The remaining recording time for a single movie is displayed on the
shooting screen.
• The actual remaining recording time may vary depending on the movie
content, subject movement, or type of memory card.
• Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are
recommended when recording movies (A197). Movie recording may stop
unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class rating are used.
B Notes About Camera Temperature
• The camera may become hot when shooting movies for an extended period of
time or when the camera is used in a hot area.
• If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the
camera will automatically stop recording.
The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (B10s) is
displayed.
After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.
Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.
Notes About Movie Recording
B Notes About Saving Images or Movies
• The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator
showing the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being
saved. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or
remove the battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this
could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.
• When using the camera's internal memory, recording movies may take some time.
• Depending on the file size of a movie, it may not be possible to record the movie in
the internal memory or copy it from a memory card to the internal memory.
