- 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.

22 minutes* 1 Built-in memory capacity after formatting (Approx.46MB) * 2 The above values are based on use of a 16GB microSDHC 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 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 16GB. • Each movie can be up to 29 minutes long. Movie recording stops automatically after 29 minutes of recording.
