Notes On Continuous Movie Recording - Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX10M4 Instruction Manual

Note
• The recordable time of movies varies because the camera 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 times shown are recordable times using a Sony memory card.

Notes on continuous movie recording

• High-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting
require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot,
the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the
image sensor. In such cases, the camera will turn off automatically
because the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature or
the high temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal
mechanism of the camera.
• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the
temperature, file format/record setting for movies, Wi-Fi network
environment, or condition of the camera before you start recording. If
you frequently recompose or shoot images after the power is turned
on, the temperature inside the camera will rise and the recording time
available will be shorter.
• If the icon appears, the temperature of the camera has risen.
• If the camera stops movie recording due to a high temperature, leave
it for some time with the power turned off. Start recording after the
temperature inside the camera drops fully.
• If you observe the following points, you will be able to record movies
for longer periods of time.
– Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.
– Turn the camera off when it is not being used.
• When [ File Format] is set to [AVCHD], the file size of movies is
limited to approx. 2 GB. If the movie file size reaches approx. 2 GB
during recording, a new movie file will be created automatically.
