NOTE

- Clip is split every 4 GB for the data in P2 format.

  However, when recording to a memory card exceeding 32 GB in AVC-Intra 422/AVC-LongG50/AVC-LongG25/AVC-LongG12 formats, recording can be continued as a same clip by selecting [ONE FILE] in the [RECORDING] menu → [FILE SPLIT]. Clip is split approximately every three hours when recording format is AVC-Intra 422. Clip is split approximately every three hours or approximately every 64 GB when recording format is AVC-LongG50/AVC-LongG25/AVC-LongG12.

  These split clips are displayed as one clip in the thumbnail screen.

  These may be displayed as separate clips in the nonlinear editing software or a computer.

- The recording is stopped once when the recording time reaches ten hours, and recording is automatically resumed after few seconds. Image and audio during the pause will not be recorded. This includes the case of special recording, such as relay recording.

- In the interval recording, the recording is stopped once when the length of a clip reaches ten hours, and recording is automatically resumed after few seconds.

## When the recording mode is MOV

SDXC memory cards and 64 GB microP2 cards can be used. SDHC memory cards and 32 GB microP2 cards can not be used.

  These are displayed as separate clips in the thumbnail screen. In addition, the clips recorded across two memory cards using the relay recording are displayed as separate clips.

- The recording is stopped once when the recording time reaches ten hours, and recording is automatically resumed after few seconds. Image and audio during the pause will not be recorded. This includes the case of special recording, such as variable frame rate recording, super slow recording or relay recording.

  When performing high-speed shooting with the variable frame rate recording or super slow recording, the recording time will be shorter than 10 hours depending on the ratio of the frame rate of the recording format and the variable frame rate.

- In the interval recording, the recording is stopped once when the length of a clip reaches ten hours, and recording is automatically resumed after few seconds.
