Note

  • (*1) About motion picture recording / 4K PHOTO recording
    - Use a card with SD Speed Class with "Class 4" or higher when recording motion pictures in [FHD] or [HD].
    - Use a card with SD Speed Class with UHS-I / UHS-II Speed Class 3 (U3) when recording motion pictures in [4K] or [4K PHOTO].

    - Motion pictures in [4K]:
    - When using an SDHC memory card: You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4 GB, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.
    - When using an SDXC memory card: You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 96 GB or 3 hours 4 minutes in length, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.
    - Motion pictures in [FHD] [HD]:
    - You can continue recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4 GB or 30 minutes in length, but the motion picture file will be divided and recorded/played back separately.
    - When the ambient temperature is high or continuous recording is performed, the camera may stop the recording to protect itself. Wait until the camera cools down.
