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. (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 resolutions, frame rates, and bit rates for [REC FORMAT] (Selecting the resolution, codec, and frame rate for recording video)
For the memory cards compatible with the different file formats (Speed Class during shooting)
When the file format is MOV
“h” is an abbreviation for hour and “min” for minute.
The recording time will change depending on the frame rate set in the variable frame rate recording or the super slow recording. File is split approximately every 3 hours for the data in MOV 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. 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 variable frame rate recording, super slow recording or relay recording. When performing high-speed shooting with the variable frame rate recording or super slow recording, the recording time will be shorter than 10 hours depending on the ratio of the frame rate of the recording format and the variable frame rate. 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. |
When the file format is MP4
“h” is an abbreviation for hour and “min” for minute.
File is split approximately every 3 hours for the data in 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. 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. |
When the file format is AVCHD
For SDHC memory card
For SDXC memory card
“h” is an abbreviation for hour and “min” for minute.
File is split approximately every 4 GB for the data in AVCHD format. 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. 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. Protection is automatically released on memory cards locked with AVCHD protection such as DVD recorders. |
