Sony a9 Instruction Manual page 97

• Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a
product specification limit). The continuous recordable time may differ
in the following situations:
– When shooting slow-motion/quick-motion movies: Recording will
automatically stop when the recorded file reaches approximately
29 minutes (the played back movie reaches approximately 29
minutes).
(Recording will automatically stop when the recorded file reaches
approximately 15 minutes if [
and [ Frame Rate] is set to [30fps/25fps].)
• The times for slow-motion/quick-motion movies are playback times,
not recording times.
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.
Record Setting] is set to [60p/50p]
