Can the FinePix Z30 record videos longer than 60 seconds? Can the FinePix Z30 record videos longer than 60 seconds?

No. Fuji sets their cameras to record 60 seconds of video at a time. You can record again after it stores the video clip which takes about 3 seconds.

Actually it can, but you need to buy a memory card. I suggest the 4gb sandisk card, you can get about 70-133 minutes of recording time.

The real problem is more likely the speed of your memory card. To record HD, you should use an Extreme III card, because the camera records faster than a typical memory card can store the data. The 15 to 30 seconds is how much your camera can hold on to while it's pushing the rest to the memory card, and once the buffer is filled, it has to stop or you would lose data.

depending on the size SD card you put in. if you put in a 32 gb micro SD card it can record up to 8hours

When recording in AVCHD: If you are recording in 30p, it is only limited by your battery and your SD card capacity. If you are recording in 60p, there is a hardcoded preset limit of 29:59.

Unfortunately I'm having the same issue. It continually records but it breaks as a 2 minutes video clips. I just got this cam not too long ago so I will have to figure out how to fix this problem and I'll let you know.

No, it will continue recording new 5 minute chunks until the card is full. When the card fills up it will start overwriting the oldest video. I haven't had to worry about it, I have a 32GB card in mine and the battery only lasts about an hour and 10 minutes, so it never fills the card. Also note that it only records five minute chunks in "vehicle" mode, in normal mode it will record one long video.

What options does this camera have in regard to recording time (1 minute, 3 minute, 5 minute clips or other?)

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.

Ive only recorded about 10 minutes straight. I would assume you can record as long as you want if you have the space on the SD card.

Almost all SD cards over 4 gb will give you a 9 minute video max I found. That's a camera limitation and not the limitation of your SD card. I found that after the 9 minutes, I restart the video and make another 9 minute video. The only tradeoff is I have to edit the video to make the transition from the first to the second video as smooth as possible.

Yes, but it only allows for 6 pictures while you are recording. And you can only record for 20 minutes at a time. But they look really good. Or at least to me they do. :)

There is a six hour mode, but you lose quality at that level. I prefer to record at no more than three hours for videos I plan to keep and replay more than once.

yes - funny, I bought this camera specifically for my bike commute, which is about 30 min...one thing to note: if you record for over 30 min at a time it will chop it up into 2 separate videos, which can later be merged/edited if needed

The limit on the video is 30 minutes. This is on all cameras due to tariffs. Importing a video recorder is more than a camera. The maximum is 30 minutes, otherwise it is considered a video recorder.

I have never been able to get the camera to record more than a few seconds of video. I have not taken the time to figure it out. I think that I should not HAVE to figure it out. You put in an SD card, you record, you replay, you're happy! Not this one.

Yes this camera systems will record up to (2) weeks of recording. You can set the camera up to record Continous, Schedule, and Motion Detection. This system come with a hard drive memory already installed. But make sure you do not have the overwrite feature on when recording because when the hard drive is full it will overwrite what was recorded and will start all over again. This system also come with an USB port whereby you can download your recorded pictures onto a USB adapter that will you have to purchase separtely.

We haven't recorded past 5 min at one time..but throught out the day couple min at a time..it adds up to anywhere from15-20 min..so what they mean is that you cant record more then 10 min straight I guess..anyway hope this helps..super clear pics and vids
