only) or HDMI OUT terminal.- The maximum continuous recording time of a single clip using slow motion recording is the equivalent of 6 hours of playback time. Recording will stop automatically after that. For example, when the [x0.5] rate is selected, the maximum continuous recording time will be 3 hours (which, played back at x0.5 slow motion, equal 6 hours of playback time). This restriction does not apply to fast motion recording, which will not stop automatically.
