My camera will only record 2 gigs of video on my 8 gig SDHC card?

Question

the card is a transend 8 gig SDHC class 6 card, the camera is a Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS.

if it is reserving it for pics is there any way to change the amount of space for vids

Answer 1

there are compatibility issues on use of memory card... older cameras may not properly handle high capacity (HC), high-speed cards and if used would playback weird results. So check on these limits w/ manufacturer's specifications.

e.g for Sony... http://esupport.sony.com/perl/support-in...

Answer 2

I think Tiddivisual is right, but the camera's spec talks about recording 30 mins of "continuous" video - is 2 Gbyte the limit for all your video or just one clip?

Answer 3

Consult your manual!! There is a whole section devoted to your answer!! If you don't have one, you should be able to download one from the Kodak support site.
