This might be redundant but how long does the camera record in one sitting? I need it for school while I'm teaching.

If the battery is fully charged, it should last for about 6 hours. This is a rough guess based on my using it for about a week, a short time each day, before needing to recharge the battery.

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.

15 minute of continously recording before it stops × 8.A total of 2 hrs memory but its HD quality and wide angle is great.The inter changeable lenses are also very good.I don't know if that answered your question Sir.

I rarely record for longer than 15 minutes.....but I can fit well over an hour of HD footage no problem. I would buy a new battery when you buy the camera. I have had great success with the new battery and use the camera regularly without issues. The battery I bought was $3 and well worth it.

Yes, that is one of the main reasons I bought this camera. I use the MP4 format since you can records for long periods of time, provided your not in a hot place, the camera will shut off if it gets to hot. With a Class 10 16 Gb sd card I can record up to 5 1/2 hrs, 1 hour and 45 minutes on 1 full batter charge using the Sony Infolithium. Hope that answers your question. I uploaded some youtube videos using this camera, quality ia great. The sound is great if you dont have a lot of base in the background.

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.

It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used. I charge it to the full extent for a couple hours and it will last me for the month on regular use,(I use it a couple times each week). I have charged it and taken it on weekend trips as well where it is in constant use while I am sightseeing,(I won't shut it off for hours,) and when we get home from the trip it still has at LEAST one bar. I've realized I have never even had an occurrence where I had to question whether it was going to die or not. I have not however, used it to record video for long periods of time, so I have no idea on how it lasts for recording. Hope that helps! It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used.

go to canon.com and pull up the camera - they tell you exactly how much space/second it takes to shoot video.

I think battery life is ~2-2.5 hours; I have just used this to record my classes and I have never taken pictures with this. I think I have seen a menu for taking pictures but I have never done it myself. I think this is a basic feature which most camera's have now a days so this camera would have that too. Thanks, -Ashish.

Does the recorded video transfer onto the computer in one file? I have a spy camera that breaks the video into 7 minute files. I need something (does not need to be a spy camera) that has a time stamp and keeps the recording in one continuous file. Will this camera do this? If it doesn't any suggestions on another camera to consider?

Hi Jazz1, there are no issues with regards to battery life or overheating for this Sony Alpha a6000. In addition, video recording time for all Sony Cameras (point and shoot type or Alpha) will always be the same (29 min). However, depending on the memory card or file format like MP4 12M, recording will be approximately 20 minutes due to file size (limited by 2 GB file size). Hope this helps. -Ely

It's dependent on the capacity of the microSD memory card . A 16 GB card will last in excess of 45 minutes ( that's the longest recording I've made so far). Somewhere in the literature I read that a 4 GB card will record 2 hours, but I can't verify that claim.

so, far recordings have been as long as needed. Longest recorded with this camera has been just over two hours. Hope this helps.

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.

I tested this function. It recorded one straight shot for 24 1/2 minutes and then stopped recording. It did not automatically start recording a new file but the camera did stay on. Pressing the record button again starts a new recording file.

hello, as far as the memory card goes, it stops recording when full. with a 32gig card, I got about 5 hours of recording time. I just erase the card once a week on my laptop. when the card gets full it tells you. the menu is quite tempermental as formatting the card while in the dashcam is a pain.

The battery on mine lasts around 90-110 minutes using the HD video. Make sure you get a bigger sd card if you plan on using HD video. I have mine mounted on my bicycle handle. I wouldn't recommend operating it while riding, there's a delay in the power on and off. It does have audio cues but probably not loud enough to hear riding. If you don't mind turning on and off while stopped it's a great camera for the price just has a few little quirks. When you first turn it on and start recording wait a minute then look at the light to make sure it's still recording - sometimes when it first starts it only records for a few seconds then shuts off.
