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 or
the high temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal mechanism of
the camera.
• The duration of time available for continuous movie recording is as follows when
the camera starts recording after the power of the camera has been turned off for a
while. The following values indicate the continuous time from when the camera
starts recording until the camera stops recording.
XAVC S HD (60p 50M/50p 50M)
[Auto Pwr OFF Temp.]: [Standard]
XAVC S HD (60p 50M/50p 50M)
[Auto Pwr OFF Temp.]: [High]
• 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 is indicated, 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, you will be able to record movies for longer
periods of time.
– Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.
– Turn the camera off when it is not being used.
