- About Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB
Even if you shoot a movie exceeding 4 GB, you can keep shooting without interruption.
During movie shooting, approx. 30 sec. before the movie reaches the 4 GB file size, the elapsed shooting time displayed in the movie shooting screen will start blinking. If you keep shooting the movie and the file size exceeds 4 GB, a new movie file will be created automatically and the elapsed shooting time or time code will stop blinking.
When you play back the movie, you will have to play each movie file individually. Movie files cannot play back consecutively automatically.
After the movie playback ends, select the next movie to be played.
- Movie Shooting Time Limit
The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 29 min. 59 sec. If the movie shooting time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically. You can resume movie shooting by pressing the <

- An increase of the camera’s internal temperature may cause movie shooting to stop before the maximum recording time shown in the table above.
