File format for High Frame Rate shooting (The values shown are available recording times when
shooting, not durations when playing back.)
Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a product specification
limit). However, the duration of time available for continuous movie recording varies under
the following conditions.
High Frame Rate shooting: Approximately 7 minutes at [30p 16M]/[25p 16M]; approximately 5
minutes 30 seconds at [24p 12M]
When the file format is set to MP4 (28M): Approximately 20 minutes (limited by file size of 4 GB)
Note
The recordable time of movies varies because the product 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.
The playback time of slow-motion movies is 4 times longer than the recording time for
XAVC S HD 30p/25p 16M movies and 5 times longer for XAVC S HD 24p 12M movies.

Notes on continuous movie recording

It requires a lot of power to perform high quality movie recording or continuous shooting
using the image sensor. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the
camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the camera turns off
automatically since higher temperatures affect the quality of the images or affect the
internal mechanism of the camera.
The duration of time available for movie recording is as follows when the camera starts
recording with the camera's default settings after the power of the camera has been
turned off for a while. (The following values indicate the continuous time from when the
camera starts recording until the camera stops recording.)
