Is there a time limit for recordings, or could I film one continuous shot until my SD card is filled?

I don't know. We usually limit it so it is a manageable file to email or post on facebook, as the card we use holds a lot. Actually we have had several of these cameras and some of these types of cameras don't even have a card; of course we upload and clear the photos off the camera whenever needed.

Pretty sure you choose wen to stop filming..We've done some extensive underwater filming & it turned out great!

Sony states you should get up to 13 hours of continuous recording. Your media is probably formatted with FAT32, giving you a 4gb file limitation. You should either let the camera format your media before use, or format it on your computer using EXFAT.

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.

Yes, the camera records 3 minute segments until the card is full and then starts overwriting the oldest segment. If you camera is hit with a strong jolt, such as in and accident, it will save the segment. I use 16 or 32 gb cards and carry an extra, just in case I have something I want to save.

You can simply erase the recordings, when full. I also use a 32g card, thinking it would get full quickly. If you have it set on motion detection, it would take months. I usually erase mine once every two weeks, since there is nothing I want to keep. Takes less time to erase each days recordings, when you have less days. I've had it a year and it works great. If it ever malfunctions, I'll definitely replace it with another. It is a real professional setup. Not like all the 'toys' on the market.

No matter what size memory card you use it is limited to 29 minutes record time for each button press... of course you can press again and start another 29 minute record. But one thing Sony warns about is overheating if used too long at a time.Be sure to use a class 10 memory card for fastest transfers.

Hi! I actually never run out on build in 32gb.Photo works for sd. I was able to copy video from main drive to a card... I didn't tried to film on sd card. If I will try, I will consider to get some fastest card possible, because regular cards can be not able to process so much data. But I really like that camera!

Greetings! I think that if you have a large enough memory card (SD XC) you will be able to shoot for that long. Actually if you set the video quality lower you can likely go much longer than 90 minutes, as the file size would be reduced. Hope this is helpful!

I haven't timed the duration of the recording, but after an estimated 2 hours ether the battery died or my card was full. I believe I was using a 2, 4 or 8 GB card. I believe it will record continuous if left plugged in.

I hope you mean a 32GB card. It all depends on the resolution you set at recording. Most if not all cameras have a max. record time of 29 minutes. But that's continuous recording. You can stop at that point and start recording again. SDHC card packaging has a chart on the back that gives recording times/photo count, at the various resolutions.

That shouldn't be a problem. The SD card that comes with recorder is only 4GB. I just bought a 16GB SD card and use the 16GB card instead. It can record up to 2 hours using the highest resolution.

Well, yes. It only gives you like 2 minutes of recording time without. If you buy a 16gb SD card, you get more than 2 hours of recording time.

I have 32 Gb sd card it records at intervals of one and a half minutes but it saves them all I haven't reached the max record time yet and Ivereach about 2 hours

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

I have never filled a SD card but roughly you get about 20 minutes/GB at 720p. At that rate you should be able to get 10 hours on a 32gb card. Much less if you record at 1080.

It seems to stop the recording no matter which way I set up the software setting. You can tell the camera to use the internal battery or the grip first. With both batteries on I'm pretty sure I can film longer then my 32 GB card.

No, once the memory card is full it stops recording. But also it is battery operated so even if it could eventually the battery would die.
