Video recording limit (10 sec) fix: Anyone know if there is a fix or firmware update planned to change the video recording limit?

well if you go to olympus's website it tells you how to download the firmware update 1.1. your main issue may be that you dont have a 4 gb or larger card, as you need a micro-sd 4 gb or higher.

L. Davis - Are you sure VP8 solves the 2gb per clip issue that most people are having with this camera? That would be great and it would only stand to reason that the other software companies utilize the fix. Let me know.

Hi Doowon, there is no capacity limitation for recording movies. If you are pertaining to 2GB limit per file, this is a normal operation and the movie would be divided. The maximum continuous recording time for the unit is 13 hours. Thanks_Mitch

My camera does not have a 10 min. loop either, not sure that isn't a bit of an error in the product description. Suggest you contact the customer service name in the documentation to see what they say. Would be interested in their comment as I have ordered another unit for my other vehicle. Love the unit and the video it produces. Have mine set at 720 rather than 10180.

it's because the zoom on the video mode fails on this camera after awhile,at least it did on mine.i took prolly 10 videos at concerts and noticed i was able to zoom while recording.then all of the sudden it didn't work anymore.u have to zoom in to where u want it now and can't adjust the zoom once u push record.

i have recorded ten minutes at a time and then it pauses and starts again for another ten minutes and when the card is full it starts rerecording over again

The insert says 7 seconds. But I recorded once. I tried another take that got messed up and then it wouldn't record past that. It doesn't work.

There are different settings. I have mine set on 90 seconds, the maximum. After the 90 seconds if there is still motion another 90 seconds is recorded. It takes a minimal video program to splice them all together if need be.

The firmware may have a limit on file size. If they're all are just under 1MB (~990KB) then I'd think it's definitely the firmware. You can probably change it. Search for system files on the memory card to see if there's a .INI file.

I just spoke with a representative at Midland. I am using a 64GB card and have not had any problems yet. She told me that if I ever have a problem with the video freezing or being "choppy", try reducing down from a 64GB to a 32GB. This will obviously give you less record time but should solve any problems

you can just let it run. you can set the memory settings to record till memory is full or overwrite oldest video first.

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 :)

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

Not sure, you may have to set the recording size to the smallest format: 30fps,

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.
