Buffer Overflow Recording Stopped message: What does it mean?
1380939
I have had no problems with my Sandisk Class 6 SDHC card, but I bought a Toshiba 16GB Class 4 SDHC card and I get a buffer overflow message after about 20 seconds of recording at which point recording stops. Another problem is a message I get when first turning on the HF200. Something like "Data is corrupted, would you like to fix it? Yes/No". Canon's documentation says both Class 4 and Class 6 cards are supported for HD recording. Perhaps recording at the maxiumum 24Mbps 1080i data rate only works with Class 6 cards. Also note that these problems occurred after trying both full and quick card initializations on the camcorder.

I'm not sure about that. I couldn't find a setting for that, just make sure the "Loop Recording" is not set to "Off". Other than that I don't know what the issue might be, sorry.

There is a menu option to have the system overwrite old data automatically. I use a 16GB card and my unit records a continuous loop of a little over the last 48-hours.

During playback, yes It's a soft botton on the screen. During recording, you simply yse the stop/start recording

It's up to you. You can set it so it stops recording when full or you can set it to overwrite.

It will stop, the built in software is very basic. There is an option that allow you to record over what's already on the card but it is a 10 minutes loop only : to me this is ridiculous !

Select whether to overwrite the recorded SD card or to stop recording when the SD card is full. When you select "Overwrite", the stored video will be overwritten starting with the oldest data first.

Your machines audio card may be too old and not powerful enough. This requires so much audio RAM that weaker audio card will clip and drop out if recording.

Perhaps a little test would be in order. Delete all the messages from the recorder and then re-record some messages and see how many you can 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

No it hasn't, but did you try to hit the reset? It could be that your video clips are too long.

I bought two of these cameras and they recorded in 5 minute intervals. In other words, they recorded five minutes, closed the file, and continued with another file. I tried different SD cards to see if that was the cause. I tried 16 Gb and 4 GB cards to see if the card mattered. I preferred a camera that would record a file continuously, so I did not investigate further.

Mine does not seem to disk over write once full. I recently had to erase all to free space as it appeared to have stopped recording. Since then I´ve been careful to erase once in a while and haven't let it go to full again so I don´t know if it was an isolated incident or if not over writing is the rule. For the rest, it works very well.

Its one of the bottom buttons. It says recording start when u press it. Then there's another that says recording stop when ur finished

Not to record, no. Unless I missed it somewhere. You get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.

Did it power off after five minutes or did it stop recording after 5 minutes? Is your SD card full? I would think the only reason it would stop recording after five minutes would be if your SD card is full. If it is not, I would probably return it.

I do not know, but one would think it would stop recording. Nothing in the book so it is just something to test. I use a 32gb card, gets about 90% filled in a month. If there is no event to look back at, I just delete and start over again.
