5 minutes*415 minutes *4 * 1 Built-in memory capacity after formatting (Approx.52.2MB) * 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 allowable recording time will be shorter if the capacity of the memory card you are using is smaller than the maximum size of one file. * 4 Recordable time when the entire movie is recorded at 30 fps. Recording time is shorter if the 30 fps frame rate is switched to 120 fps or 240 fps during recording. * 5 "HD" appears in place of "FHD" when you are shooting with "HDR Art". • 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. • The time it takes to play back a high speed movie will be different from the time it takes to record it. If you record a 240 fps high speed movie for 10 seconds, for example, it will take 80 seconds to play it back. • A slow memory card can take too much time to record data when shooting a movie, resulting in dropping frames and/or audio.
