Notes

  • Recording 4K movies requires a stable card with a fast writing speed. For details, see Card performance requirements (movie recording) [write/read speed].
  • Using SD/SDHC cards: The card will be formatted in FAT32. If the file size exceeds 4GB, recording will continue and a new file will be created automatically.
  • Using SDXC cards: The card will be formatted in exFAT. Even if the file size exceeds 4GB during recording, the movie will be saved as a single file.
  • An increase of the camera’s internal temperature may cause recording to stop before the maximum recording time is reached.
