is there a Video recording time limit on this in U.S. ??

I am sure when you start the video recording mode, it says some where on the screen that the limit is 25 minutes.

25 minutest then the camera auto-restarted and continues on...so it is limited to your card size and battery.

No recording time limit for AVCHD format video in US for US version of camera. 29m 59s limit in mp4 format video. AVCHD video broken into 4GB chunks automatically, no lost frames, but separate files of 4GB size.

THANKS guys, i was wondering if this happened to be anything like the GH2 and GH3 where they seemed to be unlimited recording times?

Due to import tariff laws, cameras are limited to a maximum of 20 minutes. Anything over 20 minutes is considered a video camera and subject to higher tariffs. There is talk of changing this law.

We haven't recorded past 5 min at one time..but throught out the day couple min at a time..it adds up to anywhere from15-20 min..so what they mean is that you cant record more then 10 min straight I guess..anyway hope this helps..super clear pics and vids

We have a 24 hour time grid that you can click through and fast forward at different speed to find the video footage you are looking for. Please note that you are required to have an hard drive in order to record video footage. Thank you

Another good question. Also, can you set it to record for X hours? Still reading...

Yes. You set the date / time in a notepad file that is saved on the storage card. Then when recording, it will show the date/time stamp on the video

Actually in the ad it says 15 hours recording time, not 150 hours. Wish it was 150 hours though!!! But I see where the 150 was pulled from, the item title. Maybe they should clear this up between title & description.

I don't know where you found this information, we have this camera and it is not the case. Recorded up to 3 hours non stop without any problems.

I personally only use it to record for about 4 hours a day so I believe you can get about 12 hours of video on a 32 gb card and then it will record over automatically...You don't have to erase anything..

I would call the company & try to get another one, or just buy another system. I record my video on my desktop computer. Much easier to work with, never look at my recorder video.

There is a six hour mode, but you lose quality at that level. I prefer to record at no more than three hours for videos I plan to keep and replay more than once.

As I remember it does not work like a DVR or VCR. You have to be there. I think the longest that it will record is 90 minutes, maybe 120 minutes. My unit no longer works. There is another company that sells a product that has what you are looking for. I can't remember the name but the cost is around 3-4 times the cost of this unit. Good luck.

Yes there is a 30 minute limit on video length and then yes, you have to press record again to do up to 30 minutes more. By then you'll need to swap batteries. Batteries last a maximum of a bit over an hour at 1080p. Aftermarket batteries often last more like 45 minutes.The 30 minute limit exists no matter what quality of video you choose to record in, even the lowest which is 480p.The limit is there because this camera only accepts SD cards that are formatted FAT32, and FAT32 has a max file size limit of 4GB, in which it can get close at the 1080p setting. I think they were lazy to keep the limit on lower qualities and to not support NTFS for that matter.

The recorder only has 13 hours of HD recording space. Resolution can not be changed on recorder to save space. Only issue I had was my time zone would go to Atlantic time zone. I would check it once a month to make sure it was in the Central time zone.

NO time lapse and it can record up to 29 minutes per clip, but 29 is NOT the total limit for taking videos. Once you're done with the first 29 minutes, you can just start another one. I did 50 minutes of video yesterday without issues.

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.

You can, James. Please remember: If the item you wish to review is 20-30 days old; and, has NOT been recorded over what you wan to see. Normally, if something happens, we do not have to go back 20-30 days. Save the clip you want; and, the dvr will not record over it. Have fun!

As are the camera and the 16 gb sdhc card, I menaged to record 9 min, 1.42 gb, stopping myself when the show ended. I believe that I could record longer. I cant explain what is the difference between us.
