A58 Sony stops video recording about 22-23 minutes

Hello!

A few years ago, I bought a camera Sony A58. So far I used it for photos and videos of 5 minutes and it works very, very well!

Unfortunately, I tried to save a 1-hour concert for a long time. I put the MP4 camera, charged the battery to 100% and inserted an empty 8 GB SD card. To my surprise, the camera recorded only 22 minutes! I decided to test this at home, so I recorded another video and he stopped at 23 minutes. I finally could see the moment he ceases to register. It just shows "Recording"... "then stops. Why a $500 camera to record videos? How Sony that I spend more money on their products, if a premium camera cannot record long videos?

Please help me with this because it is very frustrating.

Thank you, have a nice day

Yes, the video cameras record for as long as you want, as long as you have the space card and battery (or if connect you to a power supply, then the space of the card is the limit)

Generally, video files are divided into different folders to 4 GB - video recordings still smooth, just use video editing software to put them all together in one room.

The reason for this is the FAT32 format, which is a format standard and very common, and it imposes a 4 GB file size limit, to my knowledge.

Who knows, maybe Sony or another brand has a video camera using a different format that can allow recording 1 continuous file.

So, back to the legal limit, if something saves more than 30 minutes, it is considered as a video camera, so established as one, which is a tax on the big (in Europe at least)
If Sony made 2 separate versions, of course, not everyone will want to buy the one that is available in the EU, so to do even in the world, it's just a limit standard that all manufacturers.

Now, about why you get only 22-23 minutes, there could be a few reasons:

Heat - when it's hot, it will automatically stop recording to cool. This is probably not the problem since you have the a58 which should not warm up easily, and so you're conform to 22-23 minutes.

Space memory card - if you run lack of space, then cut short. However, even once, I guess you have a lot of space and your records are compliant, if not the case.

My last case is FAT32 format which is a use of manufacturers of standard format. I'm guessing that you save to a maximum quality, which means that it will hit the barrier of 4 GB faster, thus interrupting the short recording time.
I could be wrong, but just a guess.

    PowerShot SX510 HS automatically stops video recording after 10-15 minutes on continuous recording. Is there a way to disable this option? I would like to record videos up until I press the button stop recording or the battery is low. I've disabled all the setting of energy saving, at least, I think I have.

    The camera has some limitations for registration, as do all models of Canon. Here's how you can extend your durations for registration to a maximum of about 1 hour, but there is a limit of 4BG regardless so once he hits 4 GB recording stops and has to be restarted.

    Also, the memory card has to be at least a class 6 rating or recording will stop as soon as possible regardless of the size of the clamp.

  • PlayMemories Mobile/Smart Remote - no video recording! Why Sony Action Cam it allows?

    Just bought a NEX-6. The Smart Remote application is the reason why I bought the camera in the hope that, with a future update to the app NEX-6 and 5R can not only turn the trigger but also switch VIDEO! Currently, even when the Smart remote control app is running, even if you manually press the video record on the camera button it gives a warning saying "video not available when running this application. Please leave app to record video.

    For some reason sony has decided to leave the video feature switches the NEX-6 and 5R. After closer investigation I noticed that the other camera to use PlayMemories Mobile apps is the Sony Action Cam.

    Cam Action also uses the PlayMemories application in the same way as the smart remote control application, but he is able to turn on/off the camera video. In addition to setting other parameters such as EV and interval shooting.

    Now, I know that the Action is primarily a video camera and it obvioustly need to toggle the video but I don't see why Sony has ruled out this possibility for the NEX-6 and 5R because they all use the same wifi technology and the same APPS! Why do the same application run differently for different cams.

    The only way to turn the video recording remotely at this point is to buy the Sony NEX Remote control version 2 that comes out.

    The reason why I want to toggle the video from the camera app is so that anyone can use tablet or a cell phone as a monitor of affordable directors for when the game etc.

    I subscribed to the youtube channel "Sony listens" and that's what the Sony Rep Said:

    «FlyLifeFilms, the quick answer is that the action cam is designed to be mounted and legs, so it can be used for action packed high where using the buttons on the camera would not easily be used.» The Nex6 is not designed to be used as such. So, it was a marketing and a design decision to include this item on the camera action and not on the Nex6. I forwarded your comments to the appropriate Department with impatience. Thank you

    Annother unhappy user NEX - 6a writes:

    "Scott, who is a response fairly unconvincing, because Sony is best known for the fragmentation of functionality of product in order to increase the sales of several products with different characteristics."

    The simple fact is the PlayMemories software already has the ability to start/stop video with the cam of the Action. This is why it is not a question of "update" the software to include functionality for NEX-5R/NEX-6 cameras, but rather simply activate it where Sony has strategically disabled for reasons of the profit motive. »

    I hope sony their app updates, or at least let us know why they would allow the Action Sony cam to have this feature when top model NEX cameras turn it off knowing that they both use the same application!

    Dear Sony,

    Please allow at least these features in the application:

    1 start/stop recording a video.

    2. change shooting mode, shutter speed, Aperture, ISO

    Or better yet, like facets of the touch screen of the camera interface and let us control every parameter. I have to pay for this version.

  • DSC-WX150 will stop recording at 03:00 minutes when you use the HDMI video output

    Hello

    I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-WX150 camera.

    When using an output HDMI cable to view the camera to a television screen, the video movie recording function to 3:00minutes exactly every time automatically stops.

    When there is no HDMI cable plugged into the camera, it records fine 20 minutes.

    I tried changing film formats, changing the power settings, camera reset the values by default, etc., but with no difference.

    Why it only record at 03:00 minute exactly mark when you use the HDMI video output? Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you

    Hi tight,

    Welcome to the community of Sony!

    If I understand correctly, when you use your TV as a monitor while video recording automatically stops and does not cross the entire 29 minutes. Based on your manual, it is normal for the camera when it is connected to another device via the HDMI cable. This serves as protection for the camera.

    I created a movie with music.  During the preview, the video and the audio works fine.  The problem is when I watch the video on my pc, the sound stops playing after about 30 seconds and the video continues.  When I reset to that point the audio begins again, then stops shortly after and the video still continues.  It is a mpeg format and played on the windows media player 11.  What is the problem with the audio?  Looking for solutions to this problem.

    Thanks people for your suggestions and advice.  I had the sound to play.  I did change the audio settings for dolby to mpeg and that makes the difference.

  • A57 video recording

    I just bought a camera A 57 this weekend. So far so good, except...

    I tried to record videos. I hit the 'movie' button and I see the Red "REC" appears on the LCD screen / viewfinder. However, when I hit the "movie" button once again, the CBN remains on and nothing seems to happen. My only recourse seems to be off the camera. I do and when I go see my movie, I see nothing in the files for movies (when you change the 'view' to see the movies).

    The manual is not really in the details, and I think to the plug of the appliance to the store to see if they can point at something that I miss. In the meantime, I'm all eyes and ears of the ideas...

  • Setting of an old Sony Handycam Video 8

    I have this old Sony Handycam Video 8 1990, I remember playing with as a kid.

Someone please help

    Thank you

    Hi iLeet,

    From your description of the problem, it seems that the leader of band and record head seems to be the problem, the internal switches also seem to have malfunctioned. This unit would need to service; However, since it is a very old camcorder, we recommend you to buy a new camcorder with advanced features rather than fix it.

  • Video recording in a theatre

    I use a Canon VIXIA HF G10 camcocrder and I'm looking for advice and suggestions on how to avoid overexposed video recordings during the recording of the stage productions in my high school.

    Sometimes the lights they use are so bright that faces are overexposed, but I have no control over this.

    In manual recording mode, I tried the program AE (P) and registration (M) manual exposure programs.  Within the scheduled program AE,-3,0 on the scale of manual exposure adjustment does not always exposure enough.  I tried using the two AE lock settings (Normal and highlights), but did not fully test these settings.  When I used the manual exposure registration program, I could not change the f-stop number using the touch screen while recording.  (I later discovered that I could change the f-stop number using the Custom wheel while recording).  Using the manual exposure registration program gave my video a different aspect of the AE result set.  The video was not as clear and there were pictures 'ghost' or 'trails' (I don't know the technical term for what I saw) as soon as the topics more.  I was surprised that the video recorded with the manual registration program exhibition looked so different.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi BHAllen, as you have seen, in dark places of shooting can be difficult. For movies created in a context like this, I recommend you choose the shutter speed, and you'll want to select a shutter speed fast enough to stop the action, if the brightness levels allow this.

  • 30 and 60 frames per second video recording

    Hi guys I have a few questions.

    (1) what is the best to use when recording video on sony xperia z3 - 30 or 60 FPS? Are there recommendations for when you use the first and the second as the sunny days, etc.?

    (2) when I save on manual mode, I can choose between 30 a 60 fps but on AUTO mode, I can't so my question is: what FPS auto mode uses while video recording? 30 or 60? Can I change somehow?

    (3) during recording, I can take quick pictures, but resolutions are? Can I check it out somehow? As for example is the mode auto or manual 8mpix or less?

    Thanks for help.

    60 FPS will make the video more fluid and better during the seizure of the objects moving quickly. However, a higher FPS will be expand the video file and if you plan to play the video on another device this device must also support playback of 60 fps.

    The auto mode uses 30 frames per seconds and there is no setting to change this.

    If you take a picture during video recording in auto mode, it will have the same resolution as the video, 1920 x 1080. You can see the resolution of an image if you open it in Album and press [menu]-> Details.

  • Problems to connect a HP dual TV Tuner digital video recorder

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6700 notebook PC (product # KC313UA #ABA) & s been with windows 7. At home, I have dish network (hopper w / a joey). I have a HP Dual TV Tuner / Digital Video Recorder that I'm trying to connect it to my laptop. I understand to make the cable plug. But nothing comes up on the screen of the laptop. The orange light of TV Tuners. I looked up in the PDF file for the tuner, that means that some software is not installed. I bought the Tuner second hand, so if it came with the software in the area of the orginal, I don't have it. I don't know if this the reason that my lapto is no TV Tuner or that I went step by step what says the PDF for HP TV Tuner, so I think it's a software problem. Maybe a download for usb. But Windows Media does not receive a sygnal of the tuner. Could you tell me where to find the downloads that I need. As long as it free I can get them. Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    a. What is the edition of Windows 7 installed in your system?

    have b. you been able to connect to the TV Tuner using before WMC ever?

    To receive a TV signal to your computer, the signal type must be supported by your TV and Media Center tuner hardware. After you have connected a compatible TV signal to your computer, you can set up the signal in Media Center to watch and record TV shows and movies. I suggest you refer to the following article for more information about TV tuners prior to use with Windows Media Center:

    What should I know before adding TV tuners to use with Windows Media Center?

    Also, see TV signals that are supported by Windows Media Center:

  • Problems with video recording

    Hello

    I have some problems with the video recording on the BlackBerry.

    On the BB 9700 my application crashes when I try to stop recording. The file produced
    the app is empty.
    On BB 9800 I have the same problem unless I have explicitly defined the video resolution, but
