What is the approximate battery life time while recording?

Hi Alexander, the expected recording time would depend on the quality of videos you take. You can record on the highest quality for about 3 hours. Thanks_Mitch

Alex, Let me just say that I have recorded very long sessions while turning it on and off repeatedly and never really though, "oh this battery life stinks!" It's simply amazing. Also, I purchsed the 64GB card for it. Basically, I have TONS of movies i have recorded since purchasing it over 2 years ago and STILL haven't pulled them off the card. Good luck.... Case

about 30 days, it depends on how often you record. I have mine motion active so the recording will last longer

There are two different size batteries, the larger of the two will give you about 4 to 5 hours of recording time using the viewfinder, less with the window monitor open.

I'm not sure about the record time, I would assume that would depend on your battery life and storage space. I haven't had an issue recording anything for the length of time that I have done it(never more than say 10 mins). The camera works great. I used it alot underwater and couldn't have been happier with it's performance.

Mine lasts at least an hour of filming. I haven't used it longer at any given time so I can't speak to the exact duration.

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

I haven't taken enough pictures to run the battery down yet. I'm sure the next time we go on a trip, I will find out. According to the manual: Shooting still images using the LCD screen the battery life is approx 225 min. and approx 450 pictures; using the viewfinder is approx 245 min and approx 490 pictures. Shooting movies using the LCD screen the battery life is approx 120 min and using the viewfinder is appox 130 min. Viewing still images on your camera the battery life is approx 290 min and approx 5800 pictures. I regret I can't tell you first hand, but I hope you'll find this information helpful.

Depends on the SD card. I bought a 32 gig memory (Transcend brand off Amazon) for it and get around 5.5 hours of recording time.

The battery lasts about 1hr 1/2 to 2 hrs straight recording. You can not charge the battery while recording. I bought an extra battery. Sound quality is great with the camera. Worth the money I spent.

What will really drain the battery is zooming in and out a lot during video. But if you just video recording without using the zoom a lot, it will last quite a bit.

I think it has a 16-hour battery life, depending on use, and it can record up to 16 hours, supports 8 GB micro SD card. I have noticed that the battery life shortens after charging on an almost full battery, so only charge after the battery dies completely.

I'd say around an hour. Just enough that when you start to record an event of any length, the battery indicator shows it's losing power. (if you're only shooting 5 minute clips or occasional still shots at home / near shore power to recharge, stock battery is plenty. This is a very effiecient camcorder, power wise. It does have the 'close the LCD viewfinder, goes to Power Save mode' feature, which once you realize how it functions, is a huge power managment tool....and may manage power enough by itself.) I just record my kids road cycling racing events long enough, that I can easily outstrip the limited capacity of the stock battery, which is why I ordered the extra capacity one sold here at Amazon. I did buy the extra extended life battery (x2 capacity) plus wall charger offered here on Amazon for a reasonable $ 22.

Depends on how you go about capturing it, as in whether you are basing it on the battery and a single sitting or on the memory and how much it stores. On one battery charge I have recorded over two hours straight and still had enough battery life to keep going for what I estimated to be another six hours. As far as storage, it will hold as much audio as you put into it with storage. MP3 audio files are much smaller than video and store compactly on even relatively small 4GB SD cards.

I've been using both batteries consistently since I've bought them. The readout on the screen will initially say over 9 hours but I record in 1080p and get 26 actual seconds for every minute it says I have. Both batteries in real world testing, about 4 hours 30 minutes of actual use.

The battery should last about 3 hours, That is if you don't keep it on for long periods at a time. I film about 15 min at a time and get right at 3 hours out of it.

The battery on mine lasts around 90-110 minutes using the HD video. Make sure you get a bigger sd card if you plan on using HD video. I have mine mounted on my bicycle handle. I wouldn't recommend operating it while riding, there's a delay in the power on and off. It does have audio cues but probably not loud enough to hear riding. If you don't mind turning on and off while stopped it's a great camera for the price just has a few little quirks. When you first turn it on and start recording wait a minute then look at the light to make sure it's still recording - sometimes when it first starts it only records for a few seconds then shuts off.
