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.

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.
