Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes (a product specification limit). The maximum continuous recording time of an MP4 (12M) format movie is about 15 minutes (limited by the 2 GB file size restriction). Notes The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR (Variable Bit Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the shooting scene. When you record a fast -moving subject, the image is clearer but the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording. The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject or the image quality/size settings. Back to top Copyright 2013 Sony Corporation 276

The MPEG -4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG -4 AVC/H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing format. The MPEG -4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high definition video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on 8 cm DVD discs, hard disk drive, flash memory, memory card, etc. Recording and playback on the camera Based on the AVCHD format, your camera records with the high definition image quality (HD) mentioned below. Video signal* 3: 1080 60i -compatible device MPEG -4 AVC/H.264 1920×1080/60i, 1920×1080/60p, 1440×1080/60i 1080 50i -compatible device MPEG -4 AVC/H.264 1920×1080/50i, 1920×1080/50p, 1440×1080/50i Audio signal: Dolby Digital 2ch Recording media: Memory card *1 1080i specification A high definition specification which utilizes 1,080 effective scanning lines and the interlace system. *2 720p specification A high definition specification which utilizes 720 effective scanning lines and the progressive system. *3 Data recorded in AVCHD format other than the above mentioned cannot be played on your camera.

Avoid using the GPS feature on your camera in places where radio signals are blocked or reflected, such as a shadowy place surrounded by buildings or trees, etc Use the camera in open sky environments. You may not be able to record location information at locations or in situations where radio signals from the GPS satellites do not reach the camera as follows.In tunnels, indoors or under the shade of buildings. Between tall buildings or at narrow streets surrounded by buildings. In underground locations, locations surrounded by dense trees, under an elevated bridge, or in locations where magnetic fields are generated, such as near high voltage cables. Near devices that generate radio signals of the same frequency band as the camera: near 1.5 GHz band mobile telephones, etc. If you take images with the [GPS setting] set to [On], and upload those images to the internet, the shooting location may be available to third parties. To prevent this, set [GPS setting] to [Off] before shooting. [Details] On triangulating errors If you move to another location right after turning on the camera, it may take a longer time for the camera to start triangulating, compared to when you stay in the same place. Error caused by the position of GPS satellites The camera automatically triangulates your current location when the camera receives radio signals from 3 or more GPS satellites. The triangulating error allowed by the GPS satellites is about 10 m (33 ft). Depending on the environment of the location, the triangulating error can be greater. In this case, your actual location may not match the location on the map based on the GPS information. Meanwhile, the GPS satellites are controlled by the United States Department of Defense, and the degree of accuracy may be changed intentionally. Error during the triangulating process The camera acquires location information periodically. There is a slight time difference between when the location information is acquired and when the location information is recorded on an image, therefore, the actual recording location may not match exactly the location on the map based on the GPS information. On the restriction of use of GPS on an airplane During take off and landing of an airplane, set [Airplane Mode] to [On]. If you do not want to record location information, set [GPS setting] to [Off]. On the other restriction Use GPS in accordance with the regulations of the place or situation. On the geographic coordinate system The “WGS-84” geographic coordinate system is used.
