Note
• The values shown are not the continuous recording time.

• Each continuous recording time value indicated is depending on the temperature or

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-

 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
