Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes  for each shooting (limited by
product specifications).
If the file format is set to MP4 (28M), continuous shooting is possible for approximately 20
minutes  for each shooting (limited by file size of 4 GB).
Note
The recordable time of movies varies because the product 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.

Precautions/This  productOther  information
ZEISS lens
The camera is equipped with a ZEISS lens which is capable  of reproducing sharp  images
with excellent  contrast. The lens for the camera has been produced under a quality
assurance system certified  by ZEISS in accordance with the quality standards of ZEISS in
Germany.
[231] How  to Use
Precautions/This  productOther  information
GPS (DSC-HX90V)
GPS
As the positions  of GPS satellites vary constantly, it may take longer to determine  the
location  or the receiver may not be able to determine  the location  at all, depending on the
location  and time you use this product.
GPS is a system for determining geographic  location  by triangulating  radio signals from
GPS satellites. Avoid  using the camera in places where radio signals are  blocked  or
reflected, such as a shadowy  place surrounded by buildings  or trees,  etc. Use the camera
in open sky environments.
You may not be able to record location  information  at locations  or in situations where
radio signals from the GPS satellites do not reach  the product as follows.
In tunnels,  indoors or under the shade  of buildings.
Between tall buildings  or at narrow streets  surrounded by buildings.
In underground locations,  locations  surrounded by dense  trees,  under an elevated bridge, or in
locations  where  magnetic fields are  generated, such as near  high voltage  cables. 
						

							Near devices that generate  radio  signals of the same  frequency band  as the camera: near  1.5
GHz band  mobile  telephones, etc.
If you upload  and share  the images which are  recorded  with the setting  [GPS On/Off] is
[On], the record location  may be exposed on the internet even if you do not intend to do
so. If you do not want to record location  information, select [Off]  for [GPS On/Off].
On triangulating errors
If you move  to another location  right  after  turning on the camera, it may take a longer time
for the product to start  triangulating, compared  to when you stay in the same  place.
Error caused by the position  of GPS satellites 
The product automatically triangulates your  current location  when the product receives
radio signals from 3 or more GPS satellites. The triangulating  error allowed by the GPS
satellites is about  10 m (32.81 feet). Depending on the environment  of the location, the
triangulating  error can be greater.  In this case, your  actual location  may not match the
location  on the map  based on the GPS information. Meanwhile, the GPS satellites are
controlled by the United States Department of Defense,  and the degree of accuracy  may
be changed intentionally.
Error during the triangulating  process  
The camera acquires location  information  periodically. There is a slight time difference
between when the location  information  is acquired and when the location  information  is
recorded  on an image,  therefore, the actual recording location  may not match exactly the
location  on the map  based on the GPS information.
On the restriction of use of GPS on an airplane
During  take off and landing of an airplane, set [Airplane  Mode] to [On].
If you do not want to record location  information, set [GPS On/Off] to [Off].
[232] How  to Use
Precautions/This  productOther  information
AVCHD format
The AVCHD  format was developed for high-definition  digital video cameras when recording
an HD  (High-Definition)  signal using high-efficiency compression coding  technology. The
MPEG -4 AVC/H.264  format is used to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear
PCM system is used to compress audio  data.
The MPEG -4 AVC/H.264  format is capable  of compressing images at higher efficiency than
that of the conventional image compressing format.
As the AVCHD  format uses compression coding  technology, the picture  may be unstable
in scenes where the screen, angle  of view, or brightness, etc. change drastically, but this 
						

							is not a malfunction.
