Movie Recording and Playback

Recording Movies

High-definition movies with sound can be recorded.
• Each movie is limited to a file size of 4 GB and a movie length of 29 minutes, even
when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording (A 149).
• The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) for movies is narrower compared to
that of still images.
If Monitor settings (A 175) in the setup menu is set to Movie frame+auto info, the
area that will be visible in the movie can be confirmed before movie recording starts.

Note on Saving Movies
After a movie has been recorded, it is not fully saved to the internal memory or memory card until
monitor display returns to the shooting display. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot
cover before movies have been fully saved. Removing the memory card or the battery while a movie is
being saved may result in loss of the movie data or damage to the camera or to the memory card.
