What is the longest continuous period of time I can film in one "piece"? With the 128GB SDXC for example?

The Panorama now supports up to 512GB (native, latest firmware will format &gt;32GB cards exFAT in the camera and work with no special requirements) Example: https://dashcamtalk.com/recording-time-calculator/ 128GB at 12Mbps = 24.3 hours 128GB at 15Mbps = 19.4 hours

According to Fuji's compatible memory card list, SDHC is supported up to 32GB (with Class 6 recommended for HD - 1280x720). One very important note, though, I discovered on their website: "When a movie reaches a size of 4 GB, recording will briefly pause and then resume in a new file". This may or may not be a big deal for you. In HD 3D mode (1280x720@30fps), 4GB is only about 10 minutes of continuous shooting. As long as you break up your recording into small sections, it shouldn't be too much trouble. Oddly, in NON-HD shooting mode the filesize for any video file is 2GB instead of 4. For the money, though, it's hard to beat the features of this camera! According to Fuji's compatible memory card list, SDHC is supported up to 32GB (with Class 6 recommended for HD - 1280x720).

I'm not sure how long it lasts, but it lasts a long time. It will record over the existing files when the card is full unless you press emergency recording to avoid overwrite. I don't think you can use 128gb card because I tried to use 64GB card and it didn't work until I bought a 32GB card.

HiOur units record continuously but in segments, until SD card is full the loops to record over what was previously recorded. Thank you Darren Brock

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!

The amount of data that is recorded varies tremendously. Variables affecting the total amount that can be recorded on a 32GB SDXC card are; recording resolution, frames per second, sound or no sound, GPS or no GPS. I record about 9 hours, 15 minutes at 900 HD resolution, 30 fps, with sound and GPS. The largest clip I've recorded is 173MB. At that rate, I can record 185 clips at 3 minutes per clip. After 9 hours 15 minutes of recording, the camera overwrites the oldest clip, in order.Hope this answers your question and helps.

From the manual, the battery will last for 40 minutes of continuous video under typical conditions and 1 hour 10 minutes max before the camera stops automatically. But, reading further, you'll see something interesting. The manual states that, "Recording will automatically stop when the clip file size reaches 4GB, or when the recording time reaches approximately 29 min 50 sec in 1920 or 1280 mode and approximately 1 hour when shooting in 640 or 320 mode. So, unless you're recording a long, low quality video (doubtful if you're looking at a $350 camera) you'll have slightly less than a 30 min limit. I see no way to override this. There are two reasons for it. 1) There are different tariffs imposed by the WTO for video cameras with HD recording times over 30 minutes, and 2) Some sensors cannot tolerate continuous current for long periods without overheating.

I don't think you can if you are looping. Get a 64 SD card. I can go for 2 weeks before it starts over. If you want to loop but capture incidents find out how long your SD card will go and swap it out just before you fill it up.

Standard size SD Card.I am using a 32GB High Capacity SD Card and at 720p 60fps it says I can record almost 6hrs.

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.

I don't know if any SD card is so much better than another, but any name brand SD HC card works. I happen to like SanDisk myself. I use an 8gb currently but I know up to 64gb are available. To give you an idea of time, at 1080P (HD) video setting, I use approx 100mb per minute of filming, so 1gb is ~ten minutes: 8gb card should get about 70+ minutes (as an 8 gb card formatted is around 7.3gb usable)

It depends on the size of the SD card you put in. I use an 8 gig SD card and the highest quality video setting i.e 1080p and I have recorded over 2 hours but never checked for the maximum.

I have a 32GB memory card and empty it allows for just under 2 hours of HD video at the highest quality. That being said, I'd imagine I could record an hour or more on a single charge as I have recorded over 30 mins and the battery level did not move from full. Actually, even after taking a couple of hundred pictures in one day, I still have not seen the battery less than full. This was the same with my old G9...excellent battery life. It might be possible to fill the whole 32GB card on one charge, but I cannot verify that.

Hi, Eric...that would depend on how large a memory card you have :-) I have an 8Gb SD memory card in mine & I have taken over 7 minutes of video with it & never ran out of space. I haven't pushed it beyond that point but have read in reviews that the average time you can video in 1080p with an 8Gb card is 22 minutes. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. :-(

It's dependent on the capacity of the microSD memory card . A 16 GB card will last in excess of 45 minutes ( that's the longest recording I've made so far). Somewhere in the literature I read that a 4 GB card will record 2 hours, but I can't verify that claim.

The thing is, you may not want long clips anyway. Multiple short clips is not a problem. So starting and stopping solves the problem. If you really need continuous recording, you probably will be better of with an old stationary camcorder anyway.

I had it last as long as 3.5 - 4 hours of continuous recording. And as long as 3+ days using off and on.
