BMaximum Movie Length
Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even when 
there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.
•The maximum movie length for a single movie is displayed on the shooting screen.
• Recording may end before either limit is reached if camera temperature becomes 
elevated.
• The actual movie length may vary depe nding on the movie content, subject 
movement, or type of memory card.
BNotes About Saving Images and Recording Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing 
the maximum movie length flashes while images are being saved or while a movie is 
being recorded.  Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or 
remove the battery or memory card  while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could 
result in loss of data, or in damage  to the camera or the memory card.
BNotes About Movie Recording
•Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when 
recording movies ( A21). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when a 
memory card with a lower Speed Class rating is used.
• When using the camera's internal memory, saving movies may take some time.
• Depending on the file size of a movie, it may not be possible to save the movie in 
the internal memory or copy it from a memory card to the internal memory.
• The sounds of zoom control operation,  zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, 
vibration reduction, and aperture oper ation when brightness changes may be 
recorded.
• The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies. 
These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.
- Banding may occur in images under fluore scent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor 
lighting.
- Subjects that move quickly from one side  of the frame to the other, such as a 
moving train or car,  may appear skewed.
- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.
- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is  moved.
• Depending on the distance to the subject or  the amount of zoom applied, subjects 
with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice  windows, etc.) may have colored stripes 
(interference patterns, moire, etc.) in them during movie recording and playback.
This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor 
interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.

•The camera may become warm when recording movies for an extended period of 
time or when the camera is used in a hot area. 
• If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the 
camera will automatically stop recording. The amount of time remaining until the 
camera stops recording ( B10s) is displayed. After the camera stops recording, it 
turns itself off.
