*1 For long-term continuous recording, a USB AC adaptor (not supplied) is required.
For details on the battery life, see Battery life.
*2 The maximum recording time in this topic indicates an estimation and may vary depending on the specifications of the memory card.
*3 Recording scenes associated with the recording mode by default.
*4 If the file size reaches the maximum limit (4 GB for an LPCM file, and 1 GB for an MP3 file) during recording, the file will be divided due to system limitations.
