How long does one full battery charge last - for pics and for videos?

I have taken 300+ pictures mixed with a few videos on a fully charged battery. It will also hold a charge for a long time when not in use.

I've never timed it, but I went for an extended horseback ride with friends, shooting video every few minutes, for sometimes a few minutes at a time, and never ran down the battery. Did probably a dozen little vids, and still pics, too. I've never run out of battery, but after I've used the camera quite a bit, I put it in the nifty wall charger, so that I don't get out there and find a dead battery. Hate that! Love my camera!

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.

As you know, the answer depends on what exactly you're using it for. If you're just taking snap shots without all the art features, or just a bit of video here and there, then for me the battery lasts for weeks. However, if you're out doing HD 1080 filming, which I do often, then I'll go through a battery every two to four days with over an hour worth of clips to show for it (with image stabilizer off & not using the zoom). However, when I do use the built in image stabilizer for video and pic taking as well as zoom, I only get about 30 min worth of video. When my battery is finally drained, it takes about three to four hours to recharge.

My experience has been very good... Over Christmas for example, I had a battery last me for a few days, and that's with shooting probably 20 photos and a little video each day. On trips where I'm doing a lot of shooting I may go through a battery each day and recharge at night. Since I have two batteries I just cycle them through and am never lacking a charged battery. When I got my camera, a firmware update made battery life significantly better... Could be the same for you. Best of luck!

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.

The battery usually lasts about 100 pictures depending on how often I use my zoom and other functions on my camera. Great battery. I have to charge it about once a week and it takes about an hour and a half to fully charge.

I must have got a lemon. Battery life is sporadic, and not dependent on the usual factors, like using flash or video. I turn off my camera after each photo or group of photos. Sometimes a battery will last a 1-2 hours, sometimes a few weeks. I have three with me at all times or I may not be able to use my camera.

I did one while driving shooting every 30 sec and it lasted 3 hrs on full charge. On the way back I set it for 1 min. intervals and the die time was identical. So I'm not really sure how much more battery capturing an image takes over just idling.

Most of the time, prior to a recharge, 30 minutes or so. I find it best to have the camera plugged in for any lengthy video recording.

About 2 1/2 hours charging time. The battery should be good for100-200 shots depending on the pixel density. Only good for about 10 min of movie.

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

I've honestly never drained my battery. I've taken over 200 pics in a day a several short (40 second) videos. My battery never died on me.

128gb shooting pro res should last about an hour, be aware the bmpcc batteries only last about 40 mins though

Sorry I've taken so long. We've been busy. On a trip to Machu Picchu, we took pics all day long and our battery held up well, only using about a half of it's life. I hope this helps. We bought a second battery so when we needed to, we could replace the other. I must say, I took 3 short videos in a row and the battery went way down. But just taking pics didn't seem to phase it much at all.

I can't answer precisely,it lasts loong... :) I recharge it once a week or two,depending on how much I use it.On a vacation, I recharged it first time after 3 days of shooting pics and lots of videos ( I have a 32 gb card in it )... I'm satisfied with battery life!

It's the battery only. My experience has been that is will last you about an hour and a half if you record video that entire time-frame.

I've taken short vids. I've not tried long ones. There are two things limiting videos - battery and SD cardsize. My 8 gb card gives stores about 30 minutes at the default. The battery dies fairly quickly as well. As far as action or POV, if you can figure out how to mount it, why not? The camera has a 1/4-20 mounting thread. Or there's always duct tape :)
