I have been using an Ipad as a video recording device for few years. It works fine for what I am doing, but the level of grain is too much. I was hoping that maybe using E-PM2 with lower ISO, noise reduction, bigger aperture size may help improving the video image quality.

I usually leave the machine running (recording video) for about an hour.

Today I have tried using E-PM2 instead of Ipad, but it had powered down by itself after about 25 min into recording, missing another half of what I wanted to capture.

The memory space is mostly empty 3.6GB video recorded on 32GB SanDisk Extreme PLUS (80 MB/s).

I was able to power on the camera and the battery showed "full" on the screen, probably 1/5 gone, for the camera runs about 150 min.

I want to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing, if anyone is using this camera as a camcorder.

I'm pretty sure there is a time limit on recording built in so the sensor doesn't overheat.
