These values are measured according to Canon standards and may change depending on the subject, memory card and camera settings.
Table values are based on images with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Changing the aspect ratio will enable more shots, because less data is used per image than for 4:3 images. However, with [ ], 16:9 images have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which requires more data than for 4:3 images.

These values are measured according to Canon standards and may change depending on the subject, memory card and camera settings.
Recording will automatically stop when the file size of an individual clip being recorded reaches 4 GB, or when the recording time reaches approximately 10 minutes (for or movies) or approximately 1 hour (for movies).
On some memory cards, recording may stop before the maximum clip length has been reached. Speed Class 6 or higher memory cards are recommended.
