• Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a product 
specification limit). However, the duration of time available for continuous movie 
recording varies under the following conditions.
– High Frame Rate shooting: Approximately 7 minutes at [30p 16M]/[25p 16M]; 
approximately 5 minutes 30 seconds at [24p 12M]
– When the file format is set to MP4 (28M): Approximately 20 minutes (limited 
by file size of 4 GB)
• 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.
• It requires a lot of power to perform high quality movie recording or continuous 
shooting using the image sensor. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the 
temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such 
cases, the camera turns off automatically since higher temperatures affect the 
quality of the images or affect the internal mechanism of the camera.
• The duration of time available for movie recording is as follows when the camera 
starts recording with the camera’s default settings after the power of the camera 
has been turned off for a while. (The following values indicate the continuous time 
from when the camera starts recording until the camera stops recording.)
HD: XAVC S HD 60p 50M/50p 50M
4K: XAVC S 4K 24p 60M
• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature, 
the recording format/setting, or condition of the camera before you start recording. 
If you frequently recompose or shoot images after the power is turned on, the 
temperature inside the camera will rise and the recording time available will be 
shorter.
• When 
 is indicated, stop recording the movie.
• If the camera stops recording due to the temperature, leave it for several minutes 
with the power turned off. Start recording after the temperature inside the camera 
drops fully.
