Question

hey i have a problem w/ mai camera my camera can only hold 3 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!! is there anything else i can do to make it hold more video memory than 3 minutes plzzzzzz help

Answer 1

Get a larger memory card.  My Powershot shows 20+ minutes when I put in a 2gb card.

Answer 2

The S50 is quite an old model camera (released in 2003). It records movies at a top resolution of 320x240 @ 15 fps, which is fairly poor when compared to today's cameras which can record at a higher resolution and framerate of 640x480 @ 30 fps.

Anyway...your camera is LIMITED to 3 minute movies at a time. So, when your camera stops recording after 3 minutes, you should just press the shutter button to start recording again (making sure your memory card has adequate capacity).

If you want to record longer, or limitless length movies (dependent only by how much capacity your memory card has), as well as better quality movies, you will have to buy a new camera...
