- Based on Canon's testing standards.
- Recording will automatically stop when either the clip file size reaches 4 GB or the recording time reaches approximately 1 hour.
- Recording may stop even if the maximum clip length has not been reached on some memory cards. SD Speed Class 4 or higher memory cards are recommended.
