- What is the recording capacity of the camera in terms of number of images and movie recording time?
- A5
The following shows the number of image and the movie recording time capacities for built-in memory and a memory card. Note that these values are approximate, and may be different depending on individual file size.

Number of image and recording time values depends on the memory card you are using. * 3 The allowable recording time will be shorter if the capacity of the microSD memory card you are using is smaller than the maximum size of one file. * 4 The data transfer rate of built-in memory is not sufficient for FHD 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 16GB. • Each movie can be up to 29 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically after 29 minutes of recording.
