    When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a fast reading/ writing speed.
    Compression MethodCard
    IPB6 MB/sec. or faster
    ALL-I (I-only)20 MB/sec. or faster

    NOTE
    • If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not play back properly.
    • If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will need an even faster card.
    • To check the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site.
    • 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 or time code displayed in the movie-shooting image will start blinking. If you keep shooting until the movie 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.
    • 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 start shooting a movie again by pressing the < > button. (A new movie file starts being recorded.)
