Sorry I can't really answer that as I have never really used the recorder long enough to see how long a charge will last.

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.

Check your settings, or batteries. I use it all of the time and have it recording anywhere from 4 hours to 12 hours. I do not have that problem. I have three of these recorders and when I need another one I will buy this brand.

Thanks very much. I am hoping it gets at least 30 minutes of recording time with a full battery charge.

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.

No. In fact all the record functions are disabled as soon as you plug it into a computer (or USB extended life charger), so you can't record at all when it's plugged in. BUT - the good news is that it WILL record a VERY long time without having to change the battery. Don't forget, there are no moving parts in this device. It's energy consumption to operate is incredibly low. I'm pretty sure you would fill up the memory chip before you ran the battery down, but I haven't challenged it that far yet, so I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

The manual says to expect 240 min. of playback time. The battery does run down when the camera is not in use, and usage will affect the available time.

It has an internal battery, but to record while using the internal, it maybe would work for 20 seconds before the battery goes dead, but to view recordings it would work for a nice 5 to 10 min. It's basically meant to use plugged in .

battery lasts about 45 minutes recording video, longer if not recording or taking pictures. As for a full day of intermittent recording, no it cant last that long.

I'm sure answers will vary , one the memory used and the battery, mine records for approx 2 hours , and it make a file at 59 min , then it will automatically begin a new file . I don't know why it does this but it works fine. it does tend to get a little warm when recording for a long period of time.

For continuos recording ( start to finish approximately-3 hours/ randonm pictures and videos, the battery could last up to 6 hours.

I used the camera on video setting for a full day of mountain biking with intermittent recording and no issue. As long as you don't spend a lot of time reviewing video and then recording some more the battery charge should last several hours without a problem.

As long as you want. I have one clip of a school play that is 45 minutes... you can record as long s you have battery power and card space, as far as I am aware.
