Note
• The values shown are not the continuous recording time.
• Each continuous recording time value indicated is depending on the temperature or
status of the camera.
• The recording time is longer when you disable the SteadyShot function that calls for
using a tripod or a similar device.
• Each continuous recording time limit indicated for a movie is available for about 14
minutes (DSLR-A580) or for about 24 minutes (DSLR-A560) at a room temperature
of 20°C (68°F). When you disable the SteadyShot function, it is still available for
continuous recording for about 29 minutes on both the DSLR-A580 and DSLR-
A560.
• If is indicated or the camera is turned off automatically since the temperature
inside the camera is too high, you can record movies again after turning off the
camera for several minutes.
• The maximum size of a movie file is about 2 GB. When the file size is about 2 GB,
the recording stops automatically when the file format is MP4, and a new movie file
is created automatically when the file format is AVCHD.
• The maximum continuous recording time is 29 minutes.
