All Formats & Frame Rates 2 hours

Notes

  • The maximum length of time a movie can be recorded using a single shooting operation is 2 hours even if there is sufficient free space on the media for a longer period.
  • 2 hours is the official continuous recording time stated in the Sigma fp L Instruction Manual. However, we have found numerous reports where recording to external drives has gone much longer than the 2 hour limit.
  • An increase of the camera’s internal temperature may cause recording to stop before the maximum recording time is reached.
