Cards that Can Record Movies

When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a reading/writing speed class at least as high as shown in the following table.

Movie Recording SizeRecording Formats
MOVMP4
ALL-I*UHS Speed Class 3 or faster
IPB
(Standard)
:    SD Speed Class 10 or faster
Other than aboveSD Speed Class 6 or faster
IPB (Light)SD Speed Class 4 or faster
* Image-recording quality that is automatically set for time-lapse movie shooting.

If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not be played back properly.
To check the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site.

Caution

⋖Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB⋗

Even if you shoot a movie exceeding 4 GB, you can keep shooting without interruption.

Using SD/SDHC cards formatted with the camera

If you use the camera to format an SD/SDHC card, the camera will format it in FAT32. With a FAT32-formatted card, if you shoot a movie and the file size exceeds 4 GB, a new movie file will be created automatically. When you play back the movie, you will have to play each movie file individually. Movie files cannot be played back automatically in consecutive order. After the movie playback ends, select the next movie and play it back.

Using SDXC cards formatted with the camera

If you use the camera to format an SDXC card, the camera will format it in exFAT. When using an exFAT-formatted card, even if the file size exceeds 4 GB during movie shooting, the movie will be saved as a single file (rather than being split into multiple files).

⋖Movie Shooting Time Limit⋗

The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 29 min. 59 sec. If the movie shooting time reaches 29 min. 59 sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically. You can start shooting a movie again by pressing the ⋖ ⋗ button. (The movie will be recorded as a new movie file.)
