(30 frame)36 seconds 10 minutes *1: Built-in memory capacity after formatting (Approx.43.5MB) *2: Based on a 16GB SDHC memory card (SanDisk Corporation). 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 16:9 video. 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 16GB.
