[4K Pre-Burst]
For recording as needed whenever a photo opportunity arises (e.g., the moment when a 
ball is thrown)
Burst recording is performed for approximately 1 second before and after the moment that the 
shutter button is pressed. The shutter sound will be heard only once.

When you perform 4K burst photo recording, a 4K burst file will be saved in the MP4 format.
 
Use a UHS Speed Class 3 card.
 
Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 15 minutes. When you are using an SDHC memory card, you can continue recording without interruption even if the 
file exceeds 4 GB, but the motion picture file will be recorded and played back in separate files. If using an SDXC Memory Card, you can record a motion picture in a single file even 
if the size is greater than 4 GB.
 
When recording, the angle of view becomes narrower.
 
If the surrounding temperature is high or 4K photos are recorded continuously, [ 
 ] may be displayed and recording may be stopped halfway through. Wait until the camera cools 
down. 
 
When [   ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) is set, the battery drains faster and the camera temperature rises. (to protect itself, the camera may switch to [   ] ([4K Burst])) 
Select [   ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) only when recording.
