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 resolutions, frame rates, and bit rates for [REC FORMAT] ( character_reference Selecting the resolution, codec, and frame rate for recording video)

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

character_diamond When the file format is MOV

Recording format	Recording rate	Recording capacity
Recording format	Recording rate	64 GB	128 GB
UHD	200 Mbps	Approx. 40 min	Approx. 1 h 20 min
	150 Mbps	Approx. 55 min	Approx. 1 h 50 min
	100 Mbps	Approx. 1 h 20 min	Approx. 2 h 40 min
FHD	200 Mbps	Approx. 40 min	Approx. 1 h 20 min
	100 Mbps	Approx. 1 h 20 min	Approx. 2 h 40 min
	50 Mbps	Approx. 2 h 40 min	Approx. 5 h 20 min

“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.

character_diamond When the file format is MP4

Recording format	Recording rate	Recording capacity
Recording format	Recording rate	64 GB	128 GB
UHD	100 Mbps	Approx. 1 h 20 min	Approx. 2 h 40 min
UHD	72 Mbps	Approx. 1 h 50 min	Approx. 3 h 40 min
FHD	50 Mbps	Approx. 2 h 40 min	Approx. 5 h 20 min

“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.

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.

For SDHC memory card

Recording format	Recording rate	Recording capacity
Recording format	Recording rate	4 GB	8 GB	16 GB	32 GB
PS	25 Mbps	Approx. 19 min	Approx. 40 min	Approx. 1 h 20 min	Approx. 2 h 40 min

For SDXC memory card

Recording format	Recording rate	Recording capacity
Recording format	Recording rate	64 GB	128 GB
PS	25 Mbps	Approx. 5 h 20 min	Approx. 11 h
PH	21 Mbps	Approx. 6 h	Approx. 12 h 30 min
HA	17 Mbps	Approx. 8 h 30 min	Approx. 17 h
PM	8 Mbps	Approx. 17 h 10 min	Approx. 35 h

“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.

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