recording may stop before reaching 4 GB or 1 hour.
Movie Shooting
Shooting Mode
Standard
You can select the recording pixels and frame rate and record until
the memory card is full (when a super high-speed memory card is
used, such as the recommended SDC-512MSH).
The digital zoom can be used while shooting in this mode (p. 28).
• Maximum Size: 4 GB/movie

Fast Frame Rate
Use this mode to record fast moving subjects, such as in sports
photography.

mode is convenient for sending movies as e-mail attachments or
when the memory card capacity is low.
