DSC-RX100 IV - battery life for video 1080p, 50Mbps, XAVC S

Hello,

How long can I record video 1920 x 1080, 50 Mbps (XAVC S) with a new battery?

(continuous 29 minutes parts (or as long as possible), LCD medium bright, no zooming)

http://helpguide.sony.net/dsc/1530/v1/en/contents/TP0001093132.html is not helpful.

Thank you!

Hi pecany,

 

You can select the recording format from the settings as you wish as shown in the manual here: helpguide.sony.net/dsc/1530/v1/en/contents/TP0001087132.html

Thanks I had already checked the manual, but it didn't answer my question.

Hello @pecany,

 

your camera is a photo camera and can never record for longer than 29 minutes at a time. Then you have to re-start the recording.

 

It will record for around two of these clips on one battery.

 

Make sure to switch off WiFi-functionality of the camera, since that can drain a lot of power as well.

Thank you, Nic.

About two clips – that's what I wanted to know.

So probably no need to change batteries when the performance is about 48 minutes –

that would have been stressful...

(I don't use Wi-Fi at all.)
