back in separate files. If using an SDXC Memory Card, you can record a motion picture in a single file even if the size is greater than 4 GB.
●When recording 4K photos, the angle of view becomes narrower.
●If the surrounding temperature is high, or 4K photos are recorded continuously, or the temperature of the camera rises, [ ] may be displayed and recording may be stopped
halfway through to protect the camera. Wait until the camera cools down.
●When [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) is set, the battery drains faster and the camera temperature rises. Select [ ] ([4K Pre-Burst]) only when recording.
