On a full charge you can record 4 hours in standard definition, 2 hours in high definition, and 1 hour in super-hi definition. It shoots in widescreen. For an example of the Hi-def quality see this short vid I made testing the camera out just after I bought it. It's at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y1ugiJBWhk You might need to set the resolution to display the video in 720p hi-def, using the little gear icon at the bottom of the video window, to see it in hi-def. Also regarding this camcorder, it has an external mic jack, which most of these inexpensive pocket camcorders do not have. To get a camcorder with an external mic jack anymore you generally have to spend 3 or 4 hundred dollars. The above referenced video, however, uses the built-in microphone. I did not add in the music from a file; it's playing live on that ancient iMac in the corner of the room.

You get about an hour in HD. Honestly, I hate mine. I replaced it with a compact digital camera. It is not much bigger, the video quality is better, the lens has a wider angle, and I can change the SD card if the memory gets full. I have had a Vado and a Flip, and I was very disappointed with both.

It depends on the quality setting of the video. At the highest quality settings you'll get about an hour per 8GB. At the lowest quality setting (still viewable HD) you'll get about 3.5 hours per 8GB. You can buy 16GB cards (look for class 6 or 10) for about $20-25. It's more expensive than DV was (I shot DV for years), but you can carry the equivalent of about 120 hours of recording time (using 32 GB cards) in less space & weight than a single DV tape was.

If there's a limitation on recording time with this camcorder, I think it would only be limited by the amount of time that can be recorded on the SD card. I let mine run for an hour and a half recently and the only reason it stopped was because I turned it off.

Ok. I've never done the camcorder thing except on a 20 yr old Sony HI 8 mm. It finally wore out. I record 16 straight hours. Is that possible on this HF100? Thanks.

You can record up to 8 hours on these disks. Video quality is based on the recording mode you chose (60/120/240/360/480) so 60 minute mode gives the best quality while 480 minute mode gives the lowest video quality.

I ran a test and timed it for almost 2 hours before depleting the battery charge. Using a 16GB Micro SD memory card it recorded about 10GB of VGA mode video during the test. If you use the original SD card that comes with the camera you will use up all the storage space before the battery runs down.

Hi Alexander, the expected recording time would depend on the quality of videos you take. You can record on the highest quality for about 3 hours. Thanks_Mitch

You can download the manual online - there is a chart, depending on image quality setting and memory card size you can potentially record long videos. For example on my T4i with a 32 GB card and maximum quality (nothing else on card), 88 minutes of video.

Depends on the MicroSD you put on your viewer. It does not record without an additional MicroSD. I have an 8GB MicroSD on my viewer and have recorded videos as long as 10 mins and still have a lot of space to record. I have not tried to record more than that. I use my videocamera for longer viedeos :) I hope the information helps you.

Hi Doowon, there is no capacity limitation for recording movies. If you are pertaining to 2GB limit per file, this is a normal operation and the movie would be divided. The maximum continuous recording time for the unit is 13 hours. Thanks_Mitch

You could get 30 mins. It has a normal def and HD setting. Definitely can get 30 mins on standard def. I bought this for my daughter to record armature movies. Her episodes are about 30 mins per shoot on standard def.

I have two of these camera but I have no idea how much built in memory they have. They are designed to use the mini dv tapes or onto a memory chip that does not come with the camera. I use the mini dv tapes that I guy from amazon really cheap and they will have 1 hour per tape if you use the regular settings.

This is only the camera. There is no functionality for recording the video. The number of hours will be determined by the DVR it is attached to. (You need a DVR with this camera)

I've tried to do some time lapse filming with my PJ650V, but I couldn't find a way to do it. None of the documentation I've found describes it.

It has been awhile since I have used my camcorder but I think it has an internal memory. I only recorded about 10 minutes of content andthen I would upload that to my computer and delete what I recorded. I am not sure how much internal memory it has though.

You can get 2 hours of HD+ and 4 hours in HD. Both are HD 720p. And of course over 8 hours in VGAI've tried both HD settings and really didn't see much of a difference if any.Don't forget if you want more recording time than 2 hours you'll need a way to charge the battery or carry a spare.
