What Brainiac put
recording limits on
DSLR cameras?
Let's find out.
[SUBSCRIBE PLEASE!]
DLSRs have limitations
on how long they can
record video.
Why?
Well, well, there's a
couple of reasons.
Initially, recording video
on a DSLR camera was
kind of an accident.
Adding video to a DSLR
let press photographers
capture short clips for
their websites, but more
so, consumers wanted to
do video as well as
photography with
their cameras.
It was kind of an
afterthought and when
people saw they could
not only do video, but
do it with all the cool
features the camera
they had such as they
did with photos.
Interchangeable lenses,
beautiful depth,
sharp images, without
having to invest tens of
thousands into high-end
filmmaking video equipment,
that market eventually
[explosion sound]
exploded.
In many places across
the world, there are
laws that decide what
makes a video camera,
and what makes a
photography camera, and
the decision was based
on, does it record video
or take pictures?
And the law stated what
constituted a video,
as in, X minutes long.
And the difference was
how much these items
were taxed – import taxes.
You paid much more tax
on a video type camera
than photo type cameras,
and when you're Sony,
Canon and Nikon, that's
a hell of a lot of tax
to pay – tens of millions
of dollars in fees to
get their product
into a country.
And why would a
photographer, their bread
and butter audience at
the time, want to pay
more for a camera
to handle video, which
they didn't use?
So, the first reason they
have recording limits is
tax and the cost to
the company and consumers.
Now, before you jump up
and scream how terrible
the manufacturers,
governments and big
business is, there are
other reasons these
cameras were limited
in recording time.
The next is the file
system used at the
time by these camera
cards for recording.
The file system was
called FAT32, and that
system could only
handle a max file
size of 4 gigabytes.
That sounds like a lot,
but manufacturers had
to set some limit, as
they don't know if you're
shooting in a resolution
of 480, 720, 1080 or
beyond, and it's
mathematically simpler
to just set a time limit
of like 10 or 12 minutes.
So, the technology, the
file system at the time,
also imposed this limit.
Next, unlike video cameras,
photography cameras were
small and compact, and not
designed with higher-end
technology to handle heat.
Recording for a long time
would cause the camera
to overheat, and a
complete re-design to
handle this new video
shooting on a
photography camera was
not practical.
For all these reasons,
it was best for both
the manufacturer and
consumer to limit
the recording time.
If you have one of
these older DSLRs,
no problem, just plan
what you are going
to shoot, and frankly,
just hitting record and
letting it run for hours
is not suggested –
especially when you
go to edit that footage.
In the meantime,
camera manufacturers are
starting to use newer
file systems, and even
upgrade their firmware
to accommodate.
That camera over there,
a Canon 5D Mark III,
which I love and have
no reason to replace
at this time, records
up to 4-gigabytes,
which I can use up
in about 6-8 minutes
shooting full frame and
capturing every frame.
Not a problem – it's
been updated so when
it gets to its limit,
it starts a new file,
and just keeps recording.
I bring 28 minutes of
video into my editor
and it's two or three
files, I place them next
to each other, and they
are perfect, not a single
frame was lost in
that 28 minutes.
As technology evolves,
and since the volume
of cameras being sold
for video has exploded,
these manufacturers are
beginning to ignore
the tax ramifications, and
since many photographers
now require video, the
tax liabilities are
coming off the table.
You'll see newer file
systems, larger cards,
DLSR type cameras that
can record for longer
lengths without
overheating, and so on.
And there are cameras
that will do the type of
activity you want, such
GoPros and action
cameras, which DSLRs
aren't design to do.
The moral of the story
is to purchase the type
of camera for the type
of things you
will be doing.
If you already own a
DSLR, don't forget to
periodically see if
firmware updates are
available as they may
have added features
you didn't know
existed, such as longer
recording lengths.
You can also push
record, let it play
out until it fails, and
see what happens to
the footage when it
stops recording.
It's always a good idea
to know the limitations
of your camera.
And I'll say this again,
really long videos are
a real pain to edit, and
it doesn't take much to
shoot a video in
segments, and makes it
much easier on you and
your computer in post.
If you MUST shoot
longer videos, either
consider renting or buying
a different camera designed
for that purpose, or use
the HDMI out on newer
cameras to record the
footage to an
external recorder.
Understand the limits of
your DSLR, research the
limits if you are going to
buy a new DSLR, and
don't forget that a
DSLR is not an end all
shooting camera for
every situation.
