Checking the number of recordable images
 When “0” (the number of recordable images) flashes in yellow, the memory card 
is full. Replace the memory card with another one, or delete images in the current 
memory card (page 32).
 When “NO CARD” (the number of recordable images) flashes in yellow, it means 
no memory card has been inserted. Insert a memory card.
xNumber of still images and time of movies recordable 
on a memory card
Still imagesThe following table shows the approximate number of still images that can be 
recorded on a memory card formatted with this camera. The values are defined 
using Sony standard memory cards for testing. The values may vary depending 
on the shooting conditions.
Image size: L 16M
Aspect ratio: 3:2*
(Units: images)
* When [Aspect Ratio] is set to [16:9], you can record more images than the 
numbers shown in the table above (except for [RAW]).
Once you insert a memory card into the 
camera and set the power switch to ON, 
the number of images that can be

MoviesThe following table shows the approximate recording times available. These 
are the total times for all movie files.
(h (hour), m (minute))
 The recording time of movies varies because the camera uses VBR (Variable Bit 
Rate), an encoding method that automatically adjusts image quality according to 
the shooting situation.
When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recording time 
is shorter because much memory is used.
The recording time also vary depending on the shooting condition or your subject 
or the setting of image quality/size.
 The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature or 
condition of the camera before you start recording. If you frequently recompose or 
shoot still images after the power is turned on, the temperature inside the camera 
rises and the recording time available will be shorter.
 If the camera stops movie recording due to the temperature, leave the camera for 
several minutes with the power turned off. Restart recording after the temperature 
inside the camera goes down.
 If you observe the following points, the recording time is longer.
– Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.
– Turn the camera off when it is not being used.
