What is the battery life on this camera. Also can I pause video and snap pictures from it?

I shoot as much as I want with the camera, let it lay around for several weeks, then shoot another series of pictures on a later weekend outing. I've never run out of charge, but I do keep a spare battery in the carrying case. When I get a little nervous about the charge remaining, I'll put the battery in the charger overnight. I've been curious to see how long a battery will last but always chicken out and put the battery in the charger before it's discharged. I don't use video as a rule and haven't tried to pause and shoot stills.

It has a great battery and it does not run dead while just sitting. I will say that taking video will drain the battery a lot faster. I can go months without charging (using it sporadically) but if I use the video it drops a bar within 3-4 minutes

Battery here is not impressive, at least in comparison with my old Lumix LX-3. Turn camera off when not shooting should become a good habit. Also, there is no pause for video shooting and bno ability to get snapshots while playing.

Yes, I would recommend buying a larger capacity battery or a battery grip with extra battery for it. Taking photos doesn't use much juice, but video recording uses a lot of juice. Live view mode also kills the battery faster. Also when you use live view mode to take pictures you may not be focusing correctly, better to use the view finder.

Not sure what you're asking. The stock battery life is about 2 hours (less if Wifi is on). You'll get about that for HDMI playback. Be sure to get the right HDMI type cable (non-ethernet), as the camera tends to be a bit finicky about what it likes to connect to. I've found that it's often easier to use the USB connection instead, if the monitor provides that.

I haven't used the camera much. I bought it for others to use, so I'm not an expert. But from what I've seen, my guess is that it will take a couple of hours of video. If the charge life is a concern, I suggest getting a second battery.

It has a pretty great battery life. I purchased it for using on our boat and have taken pictures for hours at least 2-3 days in a row with no battery issues. I have had no complaints.

Of course, it depends on how many pictures were taken in that hour, the flash, video, replay, and speed. I simply take pictures of my twins on special occasions. I've never really had a problem w/the battery life and can do a good 2 days while traveling w/out recharging. If it continues maybe you can contact customer service about replacing the battery bc the camera must be relatively new. Mine is only 5 months old.

Tell the truth I haven't tried as when I shoot video the battery runs down soooooooooooo fast it is worthless. I would buy this camera if you are going to shoot videos. Mine will not hold the charge long enough to shoot videos unless you keep changing batteries. I am disspointed in the camera and have returned it twice to fix and still has not been solved. When it does work the video is clear as well as th pictures though.

Naturally depends on use...mine has been great when taking pics (6 hours); video-about two.

a few days if you are shooting pictures only. Video eats up the battery time much faster. It recharges very quickly.

Don't use it so much for videos but I recently went to a car show and the battery went dead after 147 pictures. Seems like the battery used to last longer [about 1 yr. old] so I may get a spare, but it's great for the price and I was going to spend $750 to $800 , glad I got this one . Good luck.

32GB will record between 36 to 40 hours.I don't believe you can turn off the camera on or off on your phone app. There is also the limitation that you cannot review recorded video on the app. I could not make that option work for me. Other that that, these cameras are pretty good. When you set it up make sure you do not set the sensitivity on high on the alerts, since any motion will set it up. I have it set to low.

all day and no problem. :) a fully charged new battery gives about 1.5 hour for video and 4 hours for picture taking. It is a fun little camera.

In most cases in low light the picture is a little darker. There is a feature on the camera that tells you to flip up the flash. When you do that there is no problem. As far as the battery it last much longer then I am used too. I can take about 250 pictures. If I set it at the ECO mode I can take 330 pictures There is a feature that tells you that the battery is getting low. The charger comes with the camera and it recharges the battery in 2 hours. The battery will last 1.5 hours of continuous shooting.Hope this helps you

Not sure about video, but I get well over 500 photos per battery and I shoot high res Raw + high res Jpeg together and I tend to do a lot of zooming too. This camera has awesome battery life.

Hi Robin, I do not have that answer. It has been charged and holding the charge but not much time on camera usage.
