SX620 HS video length

[BAlfson]

I need an hour+ but my PowerShot only records a maximum of 20 minutes in FHD.  Is there a way to extend the length of a video recording session?

Do I need a different Canon camera to get longer videos?

Another solution would be a camera that allows starting and stopping videos remotely with Camera Connect or another tool.

TIA for any suggestions!

Cheers - Bob

There are two limits.  Maximum record time, which is 30 minutes.  Maximum files size, whichi I believe is 4GB.

For working with no limits* for video, it's best to use dedicated video equipment (camcorder, cinema camera).

* limited only by space on cards and available power.

According to experiments by Gordon Laing of Camera Labs, the R3 can record up to 6 hours of 4k 25P video - mind you it will cost a packet, and may take a while to deliver, but it might be worth comparing to a dedicated video camera.
