how many minutes of video can this camera record?
2057968
The answer is....As long as the memory card you use in it. The bigger the card the longer the video. The video on this camera is 1080 and the resolution is outstanding clear. I sed a 32GB card and I can record hours of video clips.

It will depend on the size snd quality of your SD card. I have a 64 GB and I have plenty of room for photos and video

Well the longest I have recorded without stopping is 5 minutes, but I'm not sure of the time. Check there main website for specs. I love this camera and its worth buying. Make sure you get an external battery.

You can record as long as you have film. For YouTube, you can only upload up to 15 minute video.

It depends on how many GB your micro SD card has which doesn't come with this. It supports up to 32GB, I got a 2GB I was able to record 10 minutes in medium quality video, which will be 320 minutes/5 hrs and 20 minutes if recording in medium quality.

I get about 30 to 35 mins. Its funny how they make a product with the recording time of so long but fall shot on battery life to even come close to that amount of time. Guess its a trade off for the small form factor.

This camera will easily record up to it's limit of 30 minutes for a single clip on a full battery. This is an arbitrary limit for digital cameras to avoid being taxed extra as a video recording device.

On a 16 gb card, about 9 minutes. The camera records in AVI format, which is not compressed like mpeg. It does decent video, but the time restriction means that you will need another camera for longer videos.

The camera recording rate is 2GB = 30 minutes. Therefore 16GB = 4 hours. This should be obtainable using Energizer lithium AAA's.Switching the camera off then back on will not shorten the battery life compared to letting the camera split the video itself.

yes - funny, I bought this camera specifically for my bike commute, which is about 30 min...one thing to note: if you record for over 30 min at a time it will chop it up into 2 separate videos, which can later be merged/edited if needed

Depends on the SD card. I bought a 32 gig memory (Transcend brand off Amazon) for it and get around 5.5 hours of recording time.

About 2 hours. It may be depend on how do you record. If you want more time, you need to use USB for charging Battery.

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.

The battery should last about 3 hours, That is if you don't keep it on for long periods at a time. I film about 15 min at a time and get right at 3 hours out of it.

Yes you can record with the camera plugged in. The manual says the maximum recordable time for a single scene is 12 hours. If the scene exceeds 12 hours there will be a few second pause and then recording will automatically resume.

From the manual, the battery will last for 40 minutes of continuous video under typical conditions and 1 hour 10 minutes max before the camera stops automatically. But, reading further, you'll see something interesting. The manual states that, "Recording will automatically stop when the clip file size reaches 4GB, or when the recording time reaches approximately 29 min 50 sec in 1920 or 1280 mode and approximately 1 hour when shooting in 640 or 320 mode. So, unless you're recording a long, low quality video (doubtful if you're looking at a $350 camera) you'll have slightly less than a 30 min limit. I see no way to override this. There are two reasons for it. 1) There are different tariffs imposed by the WTO for video cameras with HD recording times over 30 minutes, and 2) Some sensors cannot tolerate continuous current for long periods without overheating.

I'm not sure about the record time, I would assume that would depend on your battery life and storage space. I haven't had an issue recording anything for the length of time that I have done it(never more than say 10 mins). The camera works great. I used it alot underwater and couldn't have been happier with it's performance.
