Sony DSC-W120 Only 10 minutes of video? Is this normal?

yes, it can only record for 10 minutes at a time, it's in the manual. So you have to break it up into 10 minute segments.

Amount/length of time recorded depends on file size, which in turn depends to the resolution of the imagery recorded. Poorer quality video = smaller files = more time recorded. I am running 2 cameras at default settings and looking at the Search function, can see events from about 6 weeks ago. HTH!

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.

I have been tracking this issue also, but I don't have the new camera yet. I just put together s system with the same processor and memory, and installed Sony VMS 10.From what I have heard, the problem is capturing the video from the camera in it's native format. Once its in a suitable format, it will handle the video.Check the forums at sony here:http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/default.asp

I have never had to record a shot that was non-stop so I dont know, but I would assume you would run out of storage space before the battery died. The battery life is quite impressive

The batteries will run the camera for at least 2 hours. What resulted was s series of videos 5 minutes long each, rather than one long video file. There was a gap of about a second between each five minute video. I don't know why the videos are segmented, perhaps the SD card.

Jeff:Thanks for responding! I'm glad you like it so much. I think I'll give it a try. I did read a review that said that Fuji didn't think people buying a camera in this category wouldn't want HD video. I guess that makes sense, although it sure doesn't make any difference to me. Thanks again for a nice response.Steve

I'm not happy with my Sony DSCW120, too sensitive, get a lot of blurry pictures...a real let down:(

I have the original DSC-H20, and we gave the DSC-H20/B to my father-in-law for Christmas. His looks and is almost exactly the same as mine, but it has a few more options in the manual and program modes. Specifically I recall that he had more shutter speeds and focus distances to choose from.Edit: Sorry, I was mislead! My camera was missing some ISO speeds, etc. in the menus for some reason (stopped at 800 instead of 3200). But they just appeared. Must have been a firmware glitch!? :(

You can download the manual online - there is a chart, depending on image quality setting and memory card size you can potentially record long videos. For example on my T4i with a 32 GB card and maximum quality (nothing else on card), 88 minutes of video.

Well SD cards have different classes which effect video. Make sure your card is a class 6 or better. You will see that number on the card. The higher the number better for video. I use a class 10. If you card is OK then yes go to your settings in the software and check frame rates and anything else. The quility should be smooth, I think the highest setting is 30 frames per second. I can set this camera out and get around 8 hours out of battery and still has space on a 32 GB card. If the video is choppy make sure frame rates are set to highest. Hope this helps.

I've taken a couple thousand pictures with mine since December 07. I think the problem is the image size/resolution setting. If you take every photo like you might want a huge enlargement from it, the process of recording to the card is what takes a long time. I think it's going to be slow, but I'd play around with smaller resolution etc. to find a bearable compromise.@S.K., yes it seems worst if you're using flash and stale batts.

15 minute of continously recording before it stops × 8.A total of 2 hrs memory but its HD quality and wide angle is great.The inter changeable lenses are also very good.I don't know if that answered your question Sir.

I haven't specifically used video that long, but with a couple of short (less than a minute vignettes each) with several hundred stills, 400+, and shooting off of the screen on the back and reviewing each shot as long as needed, I was able to do all that and the battery held up fine. That was over a couple of days even, and finally charged it when it got to about 5% after all that. Hope that helps.

I believe it's 12 hours, at top quality. More if recording at lower quality.

I don't know where you found this information, we have this camera and it is not the case. Recorded up to 3 hours non stop without any problems.

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
