What is the battery life for shooting movies?

It is okay on medium to high setting, very great picture. I just bought a couple spare batteries and all is great

About 1 hr. 15 minutes in 1280 x 720-60p res. 45 minutes in 1920 x 1080-60i HD. Best to buy 2 extra batteries and an extra charger for 120 VAC and a car cigarette lighter plug-in charger. Also, beware the delay in shooting stills.

We just took this on our Mexico vacation and shot video off and on for several hours and the battery never died. Took awesome underwater videos. Very happy with it.

Hi D. Le, Standard battery life of this unit is 5 hours. IF watching a movie, it could mean that it could be lower then 5 hours. Thanks, PCrush

I think so. Storage is not a problem with me, so I just download all that I've recorded and delete when I edit the clips into a longer video. This is an excellent action camera with a 2-1/2 hour on-time battery life. I leave mine on while kayaking (have two, one as a backup for the second 2-1/2 hours.

Depending on how much you use flash, delve frequently into menus, etc., you can usually expect pretty decent battery life. I've gone a whole day shooting over 200 exposures without depleting the battery entirely.

battery lasts about 45 minutes recording video, longer if not recording or taking pictures. As for a full day of intermittent recording, no it cant last that long.

I purchased a couple back-up batteries online just in case, since I would be in remote areas while shooting. A fully charged battery is good for about 260 min. I shot about 200 photos a day, and about 30 min of movies without ever having to go to a back-up battery. I thought battery life was very good. Best to stick with brand names, or reliable sources though when purchasing back-ups, as I did end up with 1 battery that would not take a full charge.

I have actually never shot video but in my experience taking pictures it has a great battery. I've gone almost two weeks without charging.

I did one while driving shooting every 30 sec and it lasted 3 hrs on full charge. On the way back I set it for 1 min. intervals and the die time was identical. So I'm not really sure how much more battery capturing an image takes over just idling.

The battery life is aproximately 4,5 hours. I have seen 2 movies without recharging.

I'm able to get about 25 minutes of 1080p HD video plus 400 photos on one set of 2650mAh rechargeables. For just video, should be 2+ hours easily. More if you turn off your LCD display. You can get beyond the 4GB limit by using the CHDK firmware (google CHDK for more info). CHDK will add a whole lot more functionality than that to your camera.

Not sure what you're asking. The stock battery life is about 2 hours (less if Wifi is on). You'll get about that for HDMI playback. Be sure to get the right HDMI type cable (non-ethernet), as the camera tends to be a bit finicky about what it likes to connect to. I've found that it's often easier to use the USB connection instead, if the monitor provides that.

Battery is fine, depends on your activity (Mail, internet or... Final Cut Pro). For me (mail & internet) is about 4h.For the rest no problems at all.

It genuinely depends on how you use it. Lower quality video extends battery life. That being said I'm usually good for about 3 hours +/- .5 hours. I really do like this camera but I'm not a highly technical person. For my purposes (documentation) it is good enough.

I haven't timed it exactly either. But I can get through 3-4 movies (balanced settings) and still have half battery life. Hope this helps!

4 AA batteries...keep extras if you are shooting video, the power drain is higher.

Battery should last for approx. 200 shots, but if you view & edit in between taking photos, or take video, it uses more battery life; if it's cold outside, the battery can also be affected. I always bring a backup charged battery just in case.

The charge takes less than two hours after the initial charge. My batter lasted me almost two weeks of non continuous shooting, so all in all probably 8-10 hours of serious continuous shooting. However if you are shooting a lot of indoor shots, it might last less as the live mode seems to burn battery a bit more than auto.
