Recording time of the memory card

Memory cards are only mentioned with their main memory size. The stated times are the approximate recordable times for continuous recording.

If recording for long periods, prepare batteries for 3 or 4 times the period you wish to record for. ( character_reference Standard charging time and recordable time)

The recordable time may be reduced if recording with a lot of action is recorded or recording of short clip is repeated.

The recordable times depends on the recording condition or memory card type to be recorded.

For the memory cards compatible with the different file formats ( character_reference Speed Class during shooting)

“h” is an abbreviation for hour and “min” for minute.

Clip is split every 4 GB for the data in P2 format. During proxy recording, the proxy data is split the same way.

However, when recording using a recording format of AVC-G50/AVC-G25/AVC-G12 to a memory card with capacity exceeding 32 GB, you can continue to record as the same clip by selecting [ONE FILE] in the [RECORDING] menu [FILE SPLIT]. In this case, the clip is split approximately every 3 hours.

These split clips are displayed as one clip in the thumbnail screen.

These may be displayed as separate clips in the nonlinear editing software or a computer.

The recording is stopped once when the recording time reaches 10 hours, and recording is automatically resumed after few seconds. Image and audio during the pause will not be recorded. This includes the case of special recording, such as relay recording.

In the interval recording, the recording is stopped once when the length of a clip reaches 10 hours, and recording is automatically resumed after few seconds.

The recording time will change depending on the frame rate set in the super slow recording.

File is split approximately every 3 hours for the data in MOV/MP4 format.

These are displayed as separate clips in the thumbnail screen. In addition, the clips recorded across 2 memory cards using the relay recording are displayed as separate clips.

With super slow recording, the recording time will be shorter than 10 hours.

In the interval recording, the recording is stopped once when the length of a clip reaches 10 hours, and recording is automatically resumed after few seconds.

These are displayed as one clip in the thumbnail screen. However, the clips recorded across 2 memory cards using the relay recording are displayed as separate clips.

Protection is automatically released on memory cards locked with AVCHD protection such as DVD recorders.
