Question about a Memory Card on a Camcorder ?
Posted by admin | Under Canon Optura Camcorder Tuesday Jan 19, 2010I have a Canon Optura 20 camcorder , the Mini DV does not work but the Memory Card does.
In the Manual it states the maximum Video recording time for any size memory card is 10 secs.
It is programmed somehow to stop at 10 seconds , is there a way to "bypass" the 10 seconds ?
It is a 2gb Memory Card that can obviously hold more than 10 seconds of video .
Isnt "something" telling it to stop at 10 seconds ? There should be a way to change it right ?
It has a Menu on the Display screen with options so there is some sort of "Software" in the Camcorder.
It takes better Still Pictures than my camera and the video quality is good too , I would still like to use it.
This is an older camera, and the memory card is not fast enough to record continuous video. The camera buffers the video onto its internal solidstate memory and 10 seconds is the maximum that this can hold. It writes to the card from the buffer at a slower rate. So not only does it not record more than 10 seconds, you will have to wait 30 seconds or so between clips for the loading.
hay i thinke you need to the camra option and stey the time long than 10s and agin look to the mémory card suze and see size if you have a memory card with 2gb is creat you need just look to the option there
