***In Motion Picture Mode, the length of recording time depends on the capacity of the SDHC/SD Memory Card. (Up to the equivalent of 2 GB per motion-image recording.) When you set the motion picture quality to VGA 30fps, WVGA 30fps and HD(1,280x720 pixels) 30/15fps, we recommend using a high-speed memory card with "10MB/s" or greater on the package.
