X-T1 suddenly stops recordingv video?

[PJBC]

At about the 14:30 minute mark my X-T1 suddenly stopped recording video. This is the first time i'd tried using it for a longer video.

Is there a built in limitation? I have another video that had that camera in its field of view, and I can see it just stop recording without anyone touching it.

I had plenty of battery and memory card space.

Video mode was manual, 1080p 25fps.

The X-T1 can only record 15 minute clips, it can't do continuous video. I don't know if a firmware upgrade will fix that, I suspect it can't. You might have to look outside of the Fuji brand to find a camera that will film continuous video.

I think the owner's manual describes this limitation.

Pick up a used Panasonic G5, G6, or GH2 if you want longer clips. They are cheap used and will shoot video until the card's full.

Even my 5 D mark III does the same but it auto starts a new video. It has to do with the limitations of FAT32 formated cards mostly, not the camera's ability to keep on shooting. Does it stop for good or just stops and starts a new file? Not much of a video shooter and don't have the patience to wait 15 minutes to check this )

It is definitely NOT a Fat32 limitation. It is a Fuji limitation, which some other Fat32 cameras don't have.

My understanding is the cameras that shoot longer video are file stitching at 15 minute intervals.

No. Some, like the Panasonics I mentioned shoot longer files without stitching

I had some time today, the video stops at 14:30, and does not continue to shoot.

With all due respect, a two minute long "take" in a movie by a professional cinematographer and director is a long one. It is considered to be endless. Maybe take a seminar or get a book on how to make video? The X-T1 is not designed to be a specialized security camera. No one wants to look at the same thing for over 15 minutes and you are going to edit out all the pans anyway.

I totally understand the OP. I worked with a crew on some movies and I do get your point but sometimes if you shoot some children's play or different non professional stuff I just put the 5D on a tripod and that's it. I even got that request for some professional work mainly for corporate conferences. They just want a general view and good sound.

They may not be fat32 systems, or they may be compressing their video more. I don't do video, but a fat32 file system won't support files bigger than 4gb. I have no idea how big Fuji's video files are.

They compress, and continue shooting to a second file after about 30 minutes, when the file system limits are reached. They camera just keeps on filming until the disk is full. Nice functionality.

I believe this came up before and the answer I thought had to do with import duties or such. Longer than 'X' minutes recording time machines are considered video cameras and have a different tax status. I actually thought it was 30 minutes not 15 though.

Anyone else heard of this rule?
