- Q1
- What is the recording capacity of the camera in terms of number of images and movie recording time?
- A1
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. Snapshots : JPEG (Exif Ver.2.3) Image Size (pixels) Image

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. * 5
Values when shooting with “ART SHOT”. * 6 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. • 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.
