“After 12:29 min it will stop recording then start again with a new file with a second delay where I'm loosing footage. Is it because I'm not using a 4K SD card? I'm using a 48MB/S Class 10 32GB. Suggestions?”

You need a U3 sd card. The extremes are at 90Mbs. I have no trouble recording a full soccer game on a card in one file.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I contacted Sony product support chat, and the answer is as thus: There is a file size limit of 2gb per clip. Therefore, depending on what resolution you are recording in, it is impossible to record long, continuous clips. Therefore, for instance, if I am trying to record my band's full performance, and leave the camera running constantly while playing, it will automatically chop up the performance into 2gb files. When recording in 4k, this probably means a new file every 5 minutes or so. The problem is that when you stitch all of these files together during editing, they are NOT continuous. You will have a "skip" where there is missing data between the end of the last file and the beginning of the next one. This absolutely ruins the recording, especially if the "skips" are in the middle of songs. Sony needs to stop using the FAT32 file format, because from what I understand, this is the problem. These files are limited to 2gb in size. Once the file format is out of the stone age, this problem should be taken care of. Until then, we are stuck with missing data between files when trying to edit these clips together. Rather upsetting.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Files are limited to 4GB in size with the FAT32 file system used on SD cards and computers. It is not so much the length of time involved.When 4 GB is reached that file is full and another 4 GB file is started. The time it takes to start the next file no recorded information should be lost if you are using the recommended SD for that camera and it was formatted by the camera before recording began.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Advertised speeds are somewhat useless, they are at best possible performance scenarios, you also have to notice read and write speeds are different, the fastest speed the camera needs is 100Mbs per second that's roughly 12MBs write speed but it has to be constant, you need to look at your card for the U3, it will be a U with a 3 inside it, if you don't see that its too slow, this is a standard that says it will write 30MBs under any circumstance and that's well over what you need, you should see SDXC and a U3 and also a "I" for UHS 1, there are more expensive UHS-2 cards with the "II" marking on them, this is overkill, you also need to make sure your card is not a counterfit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Shawn! When recording images in XAVC S format, use an SDXC memory card of Class 10 or faster. However, an SDXC memory card of UHS-I Speed Class 3 (U3) or faster is required for recording in XAVC S 4K (100 Mbps).
