Tested it at 20 c indoortemp (it is winter, outside it is just above freezing so not a real test)...I used M-IS and C-AF and constantly moved the cam around. It got a little warm. After 10:01 minutes you can shoot again for 7:56 minutes and after that for 5:17 and after that 3:56...But it never gets hot. Battery just a little warm.

But a 10 minute limit...was unknow to me. The other 4K mode lets you shoot for a longer time though. But still...I wonder why actually since it doesn't get anywhere near hot.

Do others experience the same?

Keeping the cam off for a while does not change it. It still is down to 3:56 minutes.

Pretty bad I'd say. Like Fuji and Sony Oly cannot compete with panasonic, which shows how good this cam is at making cams that are in a class on its own when it comes to reliability to my mind.
 
no all news to me pretty poor olympus ,i will try it on mine ?

Did you consider waiting for an answer to this question before writing the below?

When it comes to Olympus yes that might be the case.

When it comes to how to set 4K cine...it says max 30 minutes or 4 Gb max....When I delete more movies, I can go to 11 minutes and may be a clean card would allow me to go higher. What I do not understand is that after 11 minutes I can push the rec button again and add 7 minutes? So the card does not seem to be full. In the booklet I found very little information on this.

But I was too fast to say a thing about Oly here and for sure it is a plus that it is far from overheating at 11 minutes.

Yep, I am just not too much into reading the booklet but did soem reading on page 102 -110. It is not clear to me...
 
testing mine now rec time allows 30 mins so i must have this set to 30mins 5mins into recording
 
over the 10min mark?
 
got to 20mins got bored and i switched it off seems very capable of 30mins then ,think the 10min limit in 4k applies to the fuji xt2

I don't understand then. Mine showed 10.01 in the bottom right corner. It does show much longer record times in other modi...Standard 25 4K also was longer, 19 minutes or so..?

May be I have to read the manual better...
 
i think so

How big is your card? The camera might be showing you the estimated space (recording time) left in the card. The camera is probably being conservative, and you video isn't taking as much space per minute as it expects. However it's still taking up space. This might be why it's going down as you record.

Solution: get bigger SD cards.
 
What memory card are you using? Olympus recommends the UHS-II card in the top slot if you're shooting in C4K to ensure that the memory card isn't the bottleneck. It may have a built in mode where it stops the video if it starts to encounter dropframes.

...people would be shouting from the rooftop about how badly Panasonic stinks and how Panasonic has betrayed them and they'll never buy another Panasonic again. :-)

It never ceases to amaze me how some companies are just held to a totally different standard. This would never fly in the Panasonic camp.

Interestingly, it's acceptable for both Sony and Olympus. And no one even knows what the hell Fuji is doing with video. If they even include a video mode, they get a pat on the back for being forward thinking and innovative.

This information now makes both the G85 and GX85 better options for video than the E-M1 II.

Panasonic has video as a specialty, really. Maybe that is why it would be held to a different standard on 4k performance?

You lost me at "this information".... exactly what information are you referring to? User error? Faulty memory card? Faulty camera? Confirmed issue? Non-issue?

I thought it sounded like an overheating issue (or maybe a preventing overheating issue), but, if it's something else that's fixable, then I would take back what I said. :-)

It's just that overheating is such a common issue with video that it seemed more plausible to me than anything else suggested. But with most implementations, I believe the camera will tell you that it's overheating before shutting down, so you have a good point.

funny there were problems with certain cards and 4k when i purchased my gh4 had a kingston 64 gbu3 card that required panasonic to do a firmware update in fact i still have that card

the issue the op has might be with his card my olympus omd em1 mk2 shot 20min c4k to my sandisk extreme 128gb u3 in slot 2 which i think gave me around 70min of footage ,i must do some more expermenting though because i found the sound recording to be a little off key when i played it back on my pc i used a rode mic .

Think also with cards do not buy from amazon or ebay etc go to reputable vendors may cost a little more but peace of mind

I was too fast to jump to conclusions which I did because I could not see how I could add more video to the card but not all at once.....The remark that I use a wrong card could be correct one one hand. However: deleting more and more pics results in more and more time to shoot in C4K. That remains strange but I need to put more time in it to see whats the problem.
