When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a reading/writing speed (required card performance) shown in the table or higher than the standard specification. Test the card by taking a few movies in the desired quality and make sure the card can properly record the movie.

Movie Recording Quality	CF Card	CFast Card
	-	CFast 2.0
	UDMA7 100 MB/sec. or faster	CFast 2.0
	UDMA7 100 MB/sec. or faster	CFast 2.0
	UDMA7 60 MB/sec. or faster	CFast 2.0
	30 MB/sec. or faster
	30 MB/sec. or faster
	10 MB/sec. or faster
	10 MB/sec. or faster

Caution

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 play back properly.

To check the card's reading/writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer's Web site.

To optimize the use of the card, formatting the card with the camera before shooting movies is recommended.

When movies cannot be recorded normally, format the card and try again. If formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the card manufacturer's Web site.

⋖Movie Files Exceeding 4 GB⋗

- Using CF cards up to 128 GB formatted with the camera

　If you use the camera to format a CF card with 128 GB or less in capacity, the camera will format it in FAT32.

　With a FAT32-formatted CF 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 to be played back.

- Using CF cards exceeding 128 GB and CFast cards formatted with the camera

　If you use the camera to format a CF card with more than 128 GB in capacity, 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⋗

- When shooting movies other than High Frame Rate movies

　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.)

- When shooting High Frame Rate movies

　The maximum recording time of one movie clip is 7 min. 29 sec. If the movie shooting time reaches 7 min. 29 sec., the movie shooting will stop automatically. You can start shooting a high frame rate movie again by pressing the ⋖ ⋗ button. (The movie will be recorded as a new movie file.)
