Elpeos Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hi there,i recently bought the Samsung NX1 and i was wondering; when i'm in video mode i can see in the upper left of the lcd-screen: STBY 00:00/29:59. When i hit the record button and start recording, let's say for 2 minutes, and press stop, it jumps back to the same recording time again: STBY 00:00/29:59.I don't really know if it is, but if it is the maximal duration of a single clip, then how do i know how much estimated time there is left when i start shooting other scenes? Because now i don't have a clue how much i can record in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk908 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 ya, that's displaying the recording limit of a single clip. you can only go to 30 min. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve M. Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 True, that upper left hand number of 29:59 is the maximum single take duration, at which time the camera will stop. Determining how much total time you have left on your SD card can be guesstimated. If you look at your status window, which is the LCD on the top right hand side of the camera, to the right of ISO is a number. A newly formatted 64GB card will read approximately 3465. That number is the total stills capacity left on that SD card. You'll notice when you roll video, that number will deplete. I haven't had the time to figure out what one minute of video is in terms of how that reflects to that number. Basically, when I see around 700, I switch the card.

Thanks Steve, i think indeed that this is the best way to do it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
