Available video recording time is shown when a re-formatted card is inserted.
Video recording times and photo capacities are approximations only, and may vary according to the type and manufacturer of the memory card, the subject, and shooting conditions.
When the continuous recording time exceeds approx. 13 hr. for audio, or approx. 5 hr. 30 min. when the video mode quality is set to [Web-SHQ], the file will be saved, and subsequent data will be saved in a new file. When the recording file size exceeds 4 GB with a video mode quality setting other than [Web-SHQ], the file will be saved, and subsequent data will be saved in a new file. (A new file is automatically created every 4 GB. Although recording will continue until stopped, recording of video clips and sound will pause while files are being saved.)
* Continuous recording time for one video clip is approximately 10 seconds. No audio recorded.
