I have a 128mb SD card in my Casio Z3 and was wondering if it is possible to
take movies longer than 30 seconds, surely with 128mb I'd be able to take up
to about 15 minutes?
I seem to be able to take lots of 30 second clips, but none can be longer
than 30 seconds..

Grrr..

Thanks in advance.

Paul Beauchamp.

Some camera's can record directly to their storage cards and thus give you
films as long as your card will take.

But others rely on the cameras internal memory - And once that's filled -
i.e. 30 seconds worth - The filming has to stop and the camera memory is
then written to the storage card before you can do another.

I would guess that your camera is the latter.

My own G5 has the same problem, but as it has more internal memory it can
record 3 minute films.

Fraid so for now...

But I'm sure as performance improves and storage gets cheaper there will
eventually be an affordable Megapixel camera that takes broadcast quality
video as well !

Beam me up Scottie...
