- When the [Aspect Ratio] is set to other than [3:2], you can record more pictures than shown above. (Except when [Quality] is set to [RAW].)
Movies
The table below shows the approximate maximum recording times. These are the total times for all movie files. Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes. The maximum size of an MP4-format movie file is up to approximately 2 GB.
(h (hour), m (minute))
| Capacity Record Setting | 2 GB |
| 60i 24M(FX)/50i 24M(FX) | 10 m |
| 60i 17M(FH)/50i 17M(FH) | 10 m |
| 60p 28M(PS)/50p 28M(PS) | 9 m |
| 1440×1080 12M | 15 m |
| VGA 3M | 1 h 10 m |
- The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR (Variable Bit Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording. The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject or the image quality/size settings.

Notes on using the camera
Functions built into this camera
- This manual describes 1080 60i-compatible devices and 1080 50i-compatible devices.
To check whether your camera is a 1080 60i-compatible device or 1080 50i-compatible device, check for the following marks on the bottom of the camera.
1080 60i-compatible device: 60i
1080 50i-compatible device: 50i
- This camera is compatible with 1080 60p or 50p-format movies. Unlike standard recording modes up to now, which record in an interlacing method, this camera records using a progressive method. This increases the resolution, and provides a smoother, more realistic image.
On use and care
Avoid rough handling, disassembling, modifying, physical shock, or impact such as hammering, dropping, or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.
Notes on recording/playback
- Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the camera is working correctly.
- The camera is neither dust-proof, nor splash-proof, nor water-proof.
- Avoid exposing the camera to water. If water enters inside the camera, a malfunction may occur. In some cases, the camera cannot be repaired.
- Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the malfunction of the camera.
- If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera.
- Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may not be able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become unusable or image data may be damaged.
Do not use/store the camera in the following places
- In an extremely hot, cold or humid place
In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the camera body may become deformed and this may cause a malfunction. - Storing under direct sunlight or near a heater
The camera body may become discolored or deformed, and this may cause a malfunction. - In a location subject to rocking vibration
- Near a location that generates strong radio waves, emits radiation or is strongly magnetic place. Otherwise, the camera may not properly record or play back images.
- In sandy or dusty places
Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may cause the camera to malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.
On carrying
Do not sit down in a chair or other place with the camera in the back pocket of your trousers or skirt, as this may cause malfunction or damage the camera.
Carl Zeiss lens
The camera is equipped with a Carl Zeiss lens which is capable of reproducing sharp images with excellent contrast. The lens for the camera has been produced under a quality assurance system certified by Carl Zeiss in accordance with the quality standards of Carl Zeiss in Germany.
Notes on the screen
The screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.
Notes on the flash
- Do not carry the camera by the flash unit, or use excessive strength on it.
- If water, dust or sand get into the open flash unit, it may cause a malfunction.
On camera's temperature
Your camera and battery may get hot due to continuous use, but it is not a malfunction.
On the overheat protection
Depending on the camera and battery temperature, you may be unable to record movies or the power may turn off automatically to protect the camera.
A message will be displayed on the screen before the power turns off or you can no longer record movies. In this case, leave the power off and wait until the camera and battery temperature goes down. If you turn on the power without letting the camera and battery cool enough, the power may turn off again or you may be unable to record movies.
On charging the battery
If you charge a battery that has not been used for a long time, you may be unable to charge it to the proper capacity.
This is due to the battery characteristics, and is not a malfunction. Charge the battery again.
Warning on copyright
Television programs, films, videotapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the provisions of the copyright laws.
