Does it improve maximum recording time longer, by upgrading micro sd card to 16gb. If so how long could the recording time be up to, an hour?

no,, dont think it will make a difference,, charge last up to an hour ,,2-30min increments,, the 16gb, or 8gb,, is only space to store, amount of video time,, photo,,

Recording time was NOT improved by upgrading the SD card to 16GB. The pen did not provide adequate or the advertised length of recording time. I tried multiple times to get it to record longer. DON'T waste your money!

Regardless of the size sd card u get u can't record any longer than 3 hours due to the battery only last that long

I can assure you that 16 gb is a lot. Recording time up to 12hrs +. I got the micro sd 16gb for cameras nd I have a lot of recording time. Simply put, you don't have to buy another one for a long time. Make sure you get the right sd card for cameras !!!!!!!

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

I am using a 16 gb card and get about 4 hours of video before it starts recording over again. I would imagine a 32 gb card would give you almost 8 hours. I am recording at 1080 30fps. I haven't tried other resolutions but you should expect a bit longer record time even at higher fps.

Good evening, the recording time will depend on the amount of memory that you put, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes.Recording until memory runs out, the battery does not last long, you should buy a backup.The videos are excellent.

I'm not quite sure-however if you're recording at full hd, you will use more memory. At the lowest setting, I think you can get about 7 hours. At the highest, maybe just a couple of hours. (I sent this as a gift to my dad so I haven't used it-but he loves it and I haven't heard anything negative)

Its max card size is 8 gigs. Not sure if that's enough space to record 24 hours, as I'm not sure how to adjust the resolution.

it depends on the size of the sd card. the card that came with mine was able to record several hours. I just put in a new one with larger capacity and I have recorded many events and it is not filled up yet. my advice is to download to the computer and get the movies onto dvd as soon as possible, it gets ahead of you very quickly.

In "layman's terms," how much time does 32GB provide in recordings? (hours? minutes?)

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.

It really, really depends on compression, and there's no point in guessing because it really does vary so wildly!Some cameras used super-compressed data rates, and can hold hours of video in 16 GB!That same SD card used in, for example, an adapter for an XDCam EX camera like the Sony EX3, will hold just under an hour of 1080P video. In my opinion It's always better to have more space if you want to take video so why get 8gb if you can get 16gb.

I have a 16GB microSD card in the camera and the max allotted time it allows me to shoot videos is 20 minutes. I've noticed that I can shoot 2 to 3 times for 20 minutes videos. I also have a 2GB microSD card that was originally for a cell phone and when I put it in, it allowed me to shoot 10 minutes. I'm pretty sure the bigger the SD card you have you will be able to shoot a lot more.

Recording Time at the Lowest Quality: 40 Minutes/1 GB Micro SDHC Card (@720 X 480)

It will record as much video as the memory card can hold... I think it can use a 16gb max. But I've never tried to leave it plugged in

Also, the faster SD card will have an impact on the "Continuous shooting" mode. The faster the card, the faster the succession of shots that you can have per second.

Hi, yes it work like that, you need to choose recording time, 3 or 5 min. and it makes files 5 minutes and saves, until card is full, starts delete old files adding new, like 16GB it will be plenty for you, it take up to 32GB. My camera working so far no problems. If camera loses charge you will need to reset the time and date, but still will recorded and make files.Let me know if this is helpful.

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 have a 16GB Class 10 SDHC Memory Card in it. It will record just over three hours of video at the 720p 60 Frames Per Second Setting (3H 3M 30Seconds to be exact). You can get One Hour of non-stop recording on a single battery before it runs out of power. Buy two spare aftermarket batteries here on Amazon for about 8 bucks each, and you'll be able to record for a hour, then swap the battery out to record for hour two, and the same for hour three. When figuring out how much memory is used for recording, the 720p@60 Frames Per Second will use exactly the same amount of memory that 1080p does at 30 Frames Per Second. So recording at HD levels uses about 5.4 Gigabytes per hour. I recommend the Transcend SDHC "Class 10" 16 Gigabyte card, which is currently only Fourteen Dollars on Amazon. You MUST get at least a "CLASS 10" memory card, as you need it's fast recording speed to record HD Video. The comments below about the camera stopping after a few minutes is because they used memory that was too slow, which will cause the camera to stop after a few minutes because it can't write to the memory fast enough. With a Class 10 card, this is a non-issue. This is well documented all over the internet btw, so feel free to confirm that with a google search. :-) The Spare Batteries are $7-8 each.
