*1 Maximum file size per clip is 4 GB.
*2 DCF is the abbreviation for "Design rule for Camera File system" – the industry standard established by Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) with the aim of realizing a common format for image files used with digital still cameras and other related equipment to make those products more convenient for end users.
*3 The DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) is a format for recording on storage media information such as the number of frames and copies desired for printing of images taken on the digital camera.
*4 Exif Ver 2.2 is an industry standard established for file formatting of images from digital cameras.
*5 The resolution of still images captured simultaneously during video recording varies depending on the video's recording resolution. (0.9 M fixed in HD mode; 0.3 M fixed in TV-HR mode; 2 M/0.3 M in TV-SHQ/TV-HQ/Web/Sound Only modes)

Note:
• 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 the shooting conditions.
• Continuous video recording times per clip may vary depending on the resolutions used, the subject, and the type, capacity and features of the memory card—especially when using a low-speed SD memory card in HD-SHQ, HD-HQ, and TV-HR modes.
• 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 and sound will pause while files are being saved.)
