• The duration of time available for movie recording varies depending on
the file format/recording settings for movies, memory card, ambient
temperature, Wi-Fi network environment, condition of the camera
before you start recording, and condition of the charging of the battery.
The maximum continuous recording time for a single movie shooting
session is approximately 13 hours (a product specification limit).
Note
• The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with
VBR (Variable Bit-Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending
on the shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is
clearer but the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required
for recording. The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting
conditions, the subject or the image quality/size settings.
• The times shown are recordable times using a Sony memory card.
Notes on continuous movie recording
• High-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting
require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the
temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image
sensor. In such cases, the camera will turn off automatically because
the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature or the high
temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal mechanism
of the camera.
• The duration of time available for continuous movie recording when
the camera records with the default settings after the power has been
turned off for a while is as follows. The values indicate the continuous
time from when the camera starts recording until the camera stops
recording.
