Is there a limit on the time lapse. I dont want to know about second intervals but total lenth of possable video.

You can set the time lapse for up to 30 minutes between shots with a maximum of 1000 shots. This would give you approximately 3 weeks before the last shot was taken. However, your battery and possibly your sd card would limit this.

Yes, the maximum time range is 30 minutes. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCTS5_ADV.PDF#page=113

The limit on the video is 30 minutes. This is on all cameras due to tariffs. Importing a video recorder is more than a camera. The maximum is 30 minutes, otherwise it is considered a video recorder.

You can set the time ranging from 10 seconds to 1 minute in 10-second increments, and from 1 minute to 30 minutes in1-minute increments.* The setting may be available from a 1-minute interval or 5-minutes interval depending on the shutter speed.[Image Count]: You can set the number of pictures ranging from 10 to 1000 in 10-picture increments.(User manual, page 113)You'll have to do the math to figure this one out... ;-) Would it result in possibly 1000 frames at 24fps playback? Looks that way.

Several limits, beside the 30 minute limit already stated:* size of card vs. size of image* duration of battery if not plugged in* Frames per second at 30 FPS = 53970 images and at 6 FPS = 10794 images

it is ever so slight, and less than some other cameras i have used.. it also depends on the f stop setting you are using.. there is a delayed flash setting that will also lengthen that time.

No, it will still do time lapse. First, make sure your SD card is in. Second, only certain shooting modes will allow you to do time lapse. Try Intelligent shooting mode if nothing else works.

I do not think that there is a limit to the length of the filming. It all depends on the size of your SD card. At 1000 or 480 fps you are getting a much smaller image but a lot of frames. Also when you set the frame rate the length of your possible shoot is calculated depending on the remaining card memory and is indicated somewhere on the screen.

you can format for 24 hrs. But the time lapse will be from 1 to 60 minutes per hr. It looks like that is the only way it is in sleep mode unless something triggers it during that time. I leave mine on 24/7 and check it every third day with good pics if anything trips it.

When I first set mine up, the videos were set to only record for 1 min, so it would start and stop every 60 seconds. I since changed it to 10 minutes. It also was set on motion-control, so when I would stop at a red light, it would shut off after a few seconds and then turn on once I would start driving. Perhaps those are what you are encountering.

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

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.

No, it don't have time lapse, it was design for be manualy used. You can not pass the information to windows 7 or 8

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

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.

The camera will limit video recording to 10 mins. However, if you immediately press record again you can resume recording right away, you can record an additional 10 mins and then fuse the 2 videos together using the editing software. You can repeat this process for as many times as you like.

I have recorded various long videos using this camcorder. It has never stopped after 29 minutes. Yesterday, just to test, I continuously recorded a video for 2 hours non-stop and there was no problem.

...reread the question... I can can about 2 hours of video.. 20 minutes at a time

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.

dont know(never hit a limit), i can tell you that you cant zoom during recording.

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
