extended periods of time, the recorded movies will be divided into files 4GB
in size. The divided files can be handled as a single file by importing them to
a computer using PlayMemories Home.
Number of recordable images

• When “0” (the number of recordable images) flashes in orange, the memory
card is full. Replace the memory card with another one, or delete images from

• Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a
product specification limit). The continuous recordable time may differ
in the following situations:
– When the file format is set to MP4 (28M): Approximately 20 minutes
(limited by file size of 4 GB).
– When shooting slow-motion/quick-motion movies: Recording will
automatically stop when the recorded file reaches approximately
29minutes (the played back movie reaches approximately 29
minutes).
(Recording will automatically stop when the recorded file reaches
approximately 15 minutes if [
Record Setting] is set to [60p/50p]
and [
Frame Rate] is set to [30fps/25fps].)
• The times for slow-motion/quick-motion movies are playback times,
not recording times.
Note
• 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-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.
• The times shown are recordable times using a Sony memory card.

Notes on continuous movie recording
• It requires a lot of power to perform high quality movie recording
or continuous shooting. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the
temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image
sensor. In such cases, the camera will turn off automatically because
the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature that can
affect the quality of the images or the internal mechanism of the
camera.
• The following values are the continuous times from when the camera
starts recording until the camera stops recording.

HD: XAVC S HD (60p 50M/50p 50M, not connected via Wi-Fi)
4K: XAVC S 4K (24p 60M, not connected via Wi-Fi)
• The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the
temperature, file format/record setting for movies, Wi-Fi network
environment, 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.
• When the
icon appears, the temperature of the camera is too high.
• If the camera stops recording due to the temperature, leave it for some
time with the power turned off. Start recording after the temperature
inside the camera drops fully.
• If you observe the following points, the recording time will be longer.
– Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.
– Turn the camera off when it is not being used.
• When [
File Format] is set to [AVCHD], the file size of movies is
limited to approx. 2GB. If the movie file size reaches approx. 2GB
during recording, a new movie file will be created automatically.
• When [
File Format] is set to [MP4], the file size of movies is limited
to approx. 4GB. If the movie file size reaches approx. 4GB during
recording, recording will stop automatically.
