Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes  for each shooting (limited by
product specifications). For [MP4 12M] size movies,  continuous shooting is possible for
approximately 20 minutes  (limited by 2 GB  file size).
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.
Notes on continuous movie recording
It requires a lot of power to perform  high quality movie recording or continuous shooting
using the image sensor. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the
camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the camera turns off
automatically since higher temperatures affect  the quality of the images or affect  the
internal mechanism of the camera.
The duration of time available  for movie recording is as follows when the camera starts
recording with the camera’s default  settings  after  the power of the camera has been
turned off for a while. (The following values indicate  the continuous time from when the
camera starts  recording until the camera stops recording.)
Ambient temperature: 20°C (68°F) Continuous recording time for movies:  About 29
minutes
Ambient temperature: 30°C (86°F) Continuous recording time for movies:  About 29
minutes
Ambient temperature: 40°C (104°F) Continuous recording time for movies:  About 20
minutes 
						

							The duration of time available  for movie recording varies with the temperature, the
recording format/setting, or condition  of the camera before you start  recording.  If you
frequently recompose  or shoot  images after  the power is turned on, the temperature
inside the camera will rise and the recording time available  will be shorter.
Whenis indicated, stop recording the movie.
If the camera stops recording due to the temperature, leave it for several minutes  with the
power turned off. Start recording after  the temperature inside the camera drops  fully.

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.

The remaining battery level indicator shows an incorrect
level.
This phenomenon occurs  when you use the product in an extremely hot or cold location.
There may be a difference between the remaining battery level indicator and the actual
remaining battery charge. Deplete  the battery pack once,  then  charge it so that the
remaining battery level indicator is reset.  The correct remaining battery level indicator may
not be displayed under some  operating or environmental conditions.
Battery capacity decreases over  time and through repeated  use. If decreased usage time
between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.
