Number of recordable images
When you insert a memory card into the camera and turn the camera on, the number of images that can be recorded (should you continue to shoot using the current settings) is displayed on the screen.
Note
- A maximum of 40 000 still images can be recorded to each memory card. If the number of recorded images reaches the upper limit, replace the memory card.
- When “0” (the number of recordable images) flashes in orange, the memory card is full or the number of recorded images exceeds the number that can be managed using the database file. Replace the memory card with another one, or delete images from the current memory card. When you transfer images on a memory card to a computer, etc., the number of recordable images may be displayed as “0”. In this case, you may be able to record images by executing [
Recover Image DB]. - When “NO CARD” flashes in orange, it means no memory card has been inserted. Insert a memory card.
The number of images that can be recorded on a memory card
The table below shows the approximate number of images that can be recorded on a memory card formatted with this camera.
The numbers shown reflect the following conditions:
- Using a Sony memory card
- [Aspect Ratio] is set to [3:2], and [JPEG Image Size]/[HEIF Image Size] is set to [L: 60M]. *1
The values may vary depending on the shooting conditions and the type of memory card used.

*1 When [Aspect Ratio] is set to other than [3:2], you can record more images than the numbers shown in the table above. (except when [RAW] is selected)
*2 JPEG image quality when [RAW & JPEG] is selected: [Fine]
HEIF image quality when [RAW & HEIF] is selected: [Fine]
Note
- Even if the number of recordable images is higher than 9 999 images, “9999” will appear.
Notes on continuous shooting of still images
- High-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the camera will turn off automatically because the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature or the high temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal mechanism of the camera.
- The duration of time available for continuous shooting when the camera records after the power has been turned off for a while is as follows. The values indicate the continuous time from when the camera starts recording until the camera stops recording.
Continuous shooting speed 1 fps (Interval Shooting) 3 fps (Drive Mode: Continuous Shooting: Mid) Wind: Yes Ambient temperature: 25°C (77°F) Approx. 120 minutes Approx. 120 minutes Ambient temperature: 40°C (104°F) Approx. 120 minutes Approx. 120 minutes Wind: No Ambient temperature: 25°C (77°F) Approx. 120 minutes Approx. 30 minutes Ambient temperature: 40°C (104°F) Approx. 20 minutes Approx. 10 minutes
Input power: DC 14.5 V,
File Format: JPEG, JPEG Quality: Extra fine, JPEG Image Size: 60M,

Subject Recog in AF: On
- This is the condition when the wind hits the entire camera uniformly so that it passes from the top to the bottom of the camera at a wind speed of 5 m/s.
- The duration of time available for shooting varies with the temperature, camera settings for still images, USB/HDMI connection environment, or condition of the camera before you start shooting. If you frequently recompose or shoot images after the power is turned on, the temperature inside the camera will rise and the shooting time available will be shorter. Make sure in advance that the amount of time available for continuous shooting in your usage environment is adequate for the shooting time.
- If the
(Overheating warning) icon appears on the external monitor, the temperature of the camera has risen. If the camera stops shooting due to a high temperature, leave it for some time. Start shooting after the temperature inside the camera drops fully. - If you observe the following points, you will be able to shoot for longer periods of time.
- Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.
- Turn the camera off when it is not being used.
