The number of images you can save depends on the type of memory card you are using. * 3 The data transfer rate of built-in memory is not sufficient for HD movies.
Whenever possible use an Ultra High-Speed Type memory card.• Snapshot and movie recording capacity values are approximate and intended for reference only. Actual capacity depends on image contents.
• File size and data rate values are approximate and intended for reference only. Actual values depend on the type of image being shot. • When using a memory card with a different capacity, calculate the number of images as a percentage of 1GB. • Each movie can be up to 29 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically after 29 minutes of recording. • A single movie shoot with the "For YouTube" scene can have a maximum file size of 2048MB or a recording time of up to 15 minutes.
