I have Olympus P-320 digital camera with 1GB memory card and I can't record more then 20 sec video file. I try to format card directly in camera but still dont work.
Twoblood is very close. I have this exact camera. And like it!
When recording movies in the SHQ image quality mode, You restricted to 20 seconds of recording time per movie. Why?
In
SHQ mode, the SP-320 records movies with VGA resolution (640 x 480
pixels) and a frame rate of 30 frames per second. Recording this much
data, this quickly, requires a large amount of camera memory and a very
quick write time.
Olympus’ Type M+ and Type H xD-Picture Card media are high-speed
cards and are able to process this volume of information with no loss
in quality. Other commercially available media, including Type M and
Standard type xD-Picture Card media, are not able to do so. For this
reason, this model limits movie recording in SHQ mode to 20 seconds
when using media other than Type M+ or Type H cards. The 20-second
restriction guarantees that the camera will be able to process the data
properly and produce a smooth, error-free movie during playback.
Keep in mind that there is no restriction on movie recording length,
other than the capacity of the storage media, when recording in the HQ
(320 x 240 pixels) mode.
I'm sorry to inform you but after researching your camera only records for 20 seconds. It has nothing to do with your card. Only 20 second blocks of time.
Movie mode - The total amount of recording time available is shown by the green "00:20"
in the lower right hand corner. This is SHQ 640x480 resolution at 30fps, the maximum recording
time is 20 seconds. In the lower quality 640x480 @ 15fps or 320x240 size, the recording time is
limited only by space on your xD card. The shaking hand icon indicates that we have the image
stabilizer turned on.
