If you charge up the standard battery to "full", how long can it record video non-stop without running out of juice? Can run-time be extended?

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

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 would say that 2 to 3 hours. You can buy the battery pack and go twice as much.

This product works fine for us. I knew going in that since it was not a Cannon battery, my camcorder would not display how much time is left on the battery but that is fine with me. With two batteries, you should never run out of juice. I would definitely buy this product again if I needed to do so. The charge lasts a long time. I don't know how long exactly because I never go through an entire charge in several uses of the camcorder.

I've never timed it, but I went for an extended horseback ride with friends, shooting video every few minutes, for sometimes a few minutes at a time, and never ran down the battery. Did probably a dozen little vids, and still pics, too. I've never run out of battery, but after I've used the camera quite a bit, I put it in the nifty wall charger, so that I don't get out there and find a dead battery. Hate that! Love my camera!

the camera will record while charging. I've used it to make a timelapse for several hours, recording (well taking pictures every 5 seconds) with the adapter plugged in, as the camera only has an autonomy of about two hours. The battery is internal and cannot be removed or replaced.

a few days if you are shooting pictures only. Video eats up the battery time much faster. It recharges very quickly.

Hello Kris, Great question. The video can run continuously for approx 1.5 hrs on a full charge and approx 1.5GB of memory will be utilized during that time.

The recording depend the battery and you Card Space. In Case the Battery 30 minutes aprox.

You will record video for as long the battery lasts. For example, in steady level flight, your battery will last for about 20 mins. Under other flight conditions, you will get about 10 mins. If you want to extend your flight/video recording time, you should get a long lasting battery.

It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used. I charge it to the full extent for a couple hours and it will last me for the month on regular use,(I use it a couple times each week). I have charged it and taken it on weekend trips as well where it is in constant use while I am sightseeing,(I won't shut it off for hours,) and when we get home from the trip it still has at LEAST one bar. I've realized I have never even had an occurrence where I had to question whether it was going to die or not. I have not however, used it to record video for long periods of time, so I have no idea on how it lasts for recording. Hope that helps! It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used.

battery lasts about 45 minutes recording video, longer if not recording or taking pictures. As for a full day of intermittent recording, no it cant last that long.

With a full battery charge, you can film up to three hours (180 minutes) using the battery that comes with the camera. I have recorded well over 2 hours of footage at one time, and still had battery charge left. If you're not going to use the camera for awhile, charge the battery and then take it out of the camera for storage - this will reduce the amount of time you will have to recharge the next time you use it. I've never bought replacement batteries, since I've never needed more than 3 hours of battery life. The last time I looked at them, there were two options - a lower capacity battery (60 minutes, I think) that was about $20, and a 180 minute battery that was about $45-50. I would suggest buying the Samsung brand batteries, as I've heard that other brands do not work with this camera. Supposedly Samsung has something in the firmware that will recognize an off-brand battery and refuse to use it. I have not tested this, so I don't know if it's true.

Have used it for mostly video and the charge would last several days. Didn't have any problems with battery.

The battery discharges very fast when doing videos. I'm probably not the right person to ask. Find Mike Francis in Tallahassee. He knows way more

I think so. Storage is not a problem with me, so I just download all that I've recorded and delete when I edit the clips into a longer video. This is an excellent action camera with a 2-1/2 hour on-time battery life. I leave mine on while kayaking (have two, one as a backup for the second 2-1/2 hours.

I used the camera on video setting for a full day of mountain biking with intermittent recording and no issue. As long as you don't spend a lot of time reviewing video and then recording some more the battery charge should last several hours without a problem.

A few hours unless you have the video going the whole time. The video will drain the battery faster.

The battery life is better than average but I turn the camera off after shooting pix. Have not used the video, so can't answer your question there. I have taken the camera and pictures all day turning it off when not shooting and it never balks at all with power. You may wish to restate your question as someone may use it more frequently than I. I do most of my shooting for eBay items I list, so it is generally not a pleasure camera. I never fear running out of juice. Hope that helps.
