Basic Operations of Movie Recording and Movie Playback
Maximum Movie Recording Time
Individual movie files cannot exceed 29 minutes in length, even when there is
sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.
The maximum size of a single movie file is 4 GB. If a file exceeds 4 GB even when you
record for less than 29 minutes, it is split into multiple files and cannot be played back
continuously (A145).
• The remaining recording time for a single movie is displayed on the shooting
screen.
• Recording may end before either limit is reached if camera temperature becomes
elevated.
• The actual remaining recording time may vary depending on the movie content,
subject movement, or type of memory card.
• Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 (Video Speed Class V6) or faster
are recommended for recording movies. When Movie options is set to d
2160/30p (4K UHD) or c 2160/25p (4K UHD), memory cards with a UHS Speed
Class rating of 3 (Video Speed Class V30) or faster are recommended. When using a
memory card with a lower Speed Class rating, movie recording may stop
unexpectedly.
B Camera Temperature
• The camera may become hot when recording movies for an extended period of time or
when the camera is used in a hot area.
• If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the camera
will automatically stop recording. The amount of time remaining until the camera stops
recording (B10s) is displayed.
After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.
Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.
Notes About Movie Recording
B Notes About Saving Images or Movies
• The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the
remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory
card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to
the camera or the memory card.
• When using the camera’s internal memory, saving movies may take some time.
• When using certain Movie options settings, it may not be possible to save the movie in
the internal memory or copy it from a memory card to the internal memory.
