Union Station .... it's worth asking as its a fairly simplistic piece of kit and it's a software issue not a battery or hardware one..... the 280 - is no alexa or red....

"it's a software issue not a battery or hardware one" If it were that simple Canon would have updated the 280 firmware and had a lot of satisfied customers.

I also experienced the same issue, was only able to take 20 plus minutes of video with the red warning flashing most of that duration. We've been a Canon family going through 4 different ones in the last 10 years, trying to catch up with the technology. We are still using a Canon G5 but I need a pocket camera for a weeklong vacation coming up, so I bought two more replacement batters of 3.7v with 1600mAH output hoping it would help, and hopefully I would be able to make a decision about keeping it or returning it by the time I come back from the vacation.
The photoes I've been testing in both indoor and out so far are way better than a Nikon Coolpix my hubby bought last Christmas. So I am hoping this Canon issue is fixable.

Had mine a day. Found this forum and read more people having same problem with video/battery indicator. Rang canon, they knew nothing about it.
I own a canon camcorder, and an EOS DSLR. I am sending my SX280 back and switching to Nikon now. I can't believe the way canon have fobbed people off.
They've lost a sale and a long time canon user.
