The table below shows the approximate maximum recording times. These are 
the total times for all movie files. Continuous shooting is possible for 
approximately 29 minutes. The maximum size of an MP4-format movie file is 
up to approximately 2 GB.
(h (hour), m (minute))
The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable time.
 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.
