Has the camera ever locked up and stopped recording?

I returned my camera because it was only 1280 x 720 in resolution. The seller did a bait and switch. The brief time I used it it worked well. Try a reset or removing the battery (if either is possible) is all I can think of to do.

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.

I don't know of any issues with the recorder, I've never had any problems with them, except one time I thought something froze, but restart fixed it, no problems since then. There is a firmware update on Olympus site but its not real recent. They don't make this recorder anymore. Sony has a new recorder/video cam coming out this month to take place of the Olympus but from demo's I've seen of that one the Zeiss lens isn't very sharp, the Olympus has a better lens from what I can see.

Yes if turned off it will no longer loop. You have to make sure you have a time set or it will fill up and stop recording.

I have not. I have been very please with my camera. About once a month I make sure the unit is plugged in securely though.

Not that I'm aware of. Once you turn it on and wait 5-7 seconds, it starts recording.

Top left button turn camera on and off. When it blinks red it records. Took me a few times to figure out.

My flip mino hd froze after shooting for 20 minutes today. By 'froze' I mean, it kept recording, but I couldn't get it to stop. I couldn't zoom in or out or turn it off... none of the buttons worked. I let it sit for a few minutes, then tried again, and I was able to shut it off. I turned it back on, and everything worked fine. I hope the problem doesn't occur again, but who knows.

I had this occur several times before a conversation with a techy suggested that the memory (SD) card might be too slow and causing the camera to lock up. I replaced a 4GB Class 2 card with an 8GB Class 4 card and have not had the problem, so maybe this will work. Good luck.

All I ever do is drag the videos into a folder on my computer to save for later or into the trash, I have never had an issue myself. Have you tried emptying the trash, unplugging the camera, and then plug the camera back in?

What malfunctions did you have? My camera has been operating flawlessly day after day.

No it hasn't, but did you try to hit the reset? It could be that your video clips are too long.

Yes, there is a button on the lower right corner of the camera. It announces when the audio record is off once you push it

Yes, lots of recording problem. It would keep going through file recovery mode. Had to switch to class 4

Nikon released a firmware update in May 2012 that resolved the lockup issue. The left focus issue affected some unknown number of D800s but for the last several months I have not heard of anyone finding such isues with new cameras.

The user manual states: The camera will not stop recording when the card is full, but will deletethe oldest file and resume recording.

Brian: Not this model. I had the same problem and discovered that it would suspend recording when the card got full. I figured that for $20 I just purchased a "toy".
