The number of still images and recordable time may vary depending on the 
shooting conditions and the memory card.
xStill images
(Units: Images)
xMovies
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 (limited by product specifications). For 
[1280×720(Fine)] size movies, continuous shooting is possible for 
approximately 15 minutes (limited by 2 GB file size).
(h (hour), m (minute), s (second))
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-m oving subject, the image is clearer but 
the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording.
The recordable time also varies depend ing on the shooting conditions, the subject 
or the image size settings.
