Q: QuestionHow long does the battery last? Can you record for 1 hour or more on this camera?

Asked 2 years ago by Crane.

• A:Answer I have used ten camera to record my son’s football games, I use the viewfinder as opposed to the screen due to sun making it impossible to see the screen, and this helps the battery life quite a bit, normally the battery will show 170 mins of battery life at 4k.

Q: QuestionI have a 12 hour conference that I need to record from start to finish. Will this overheat? How long is the battery life?

Asked 1 year ago by Dan.

• A:Answer Definitely will NOT overheat -- you can run this continuously if needed and it'll be fine. It has two memory slots that can automatically flow from one to the other if a card gets full so, quite literally, you *could* run it 12 hours straight. You also can put larger-capacity SD cards in. Not sure on battery, but I'd recommend getting the larger ones you can find online if you need longer battery life. With the larger ones we can film 2 hours easily. That said -- 12-hour conference... plug it in! :-)

Q: QuestionDoes this have the hotshoe connection on top that connects to older canon shotgun mics?

Asked 1 year ago by david.

Q: QuestionAt what frame rate is highest slow motion capture. Saying “5X”, “1200X” is totally useless for a photographer. We’d have to know what “X” Is. If X = 10 then 5X = 50, which is barely sufficient for basic slow motion.Please provide actual frame rates

Asked 1 year ago by Therathman.

• A:Answer "X" in this context means zoom. They are telling you it has 20X variable optical zoom plus "some other X" digital zoom, which is another way of saying, a short telephoto lens (that's the 20X part) plus an "X" digital zoom, also know as "a convenient and frustrating but super fast way to ruin your output." There are online converters to figure out what a 20x is, in relation to whatever telephoto lens you are accustomed to. Hope this helps.
