[QUOTE="sensh, post: 212308, member: 17505"] Hey all! I'm new to the forum and searched for this topic to see if anyone else is having the issue, but couldn't find anything. Hope someone else has experienced it, or knows what I'm doing wrong... My D3200 works magnificently as a camera. Still photos, no issues. When trying to shoot video, however, a strange thing happens. Most of the time I am shooting video the camera is on a tripod. When I hit record, the camera starts recording correctly, and the "REC" message flashes. And for short clips, no problems. But when recording longer clips (two to five minutes, for example) sometimes the "REC" light will stop flashing on its own and the camera will stop recording. (The live view is still active, and everything looks normal - almost as if I had pressed the button again to stop recording. And if I DO press the record button, it will start recording again normally. But at some point in the video, it stopped recording on its own.) If I go back and look at the partial clip, it is there and I can view it normally. It's a short clip of excellent quality that looks and sounds totally normal, except that it ends in the middle of what I wanted to record. All the normal stuff is normal. The battery is fully charged, etc. Everything seems completely normal. I can shoot still photos all day long and nothing strange ever happens. And SOMETIMES I can shoot long clips of video with no problems. Other times, most times in fact, it just turns itself off. Anyone know what's going on? I am somewhat clueless when it comes to video, so it's very possible I have some kind of setting wrong, but I can't find anything in the camera that seems to address this. And when I start recording the timer starts counting down from 20 minutes, which seems to indicate that my maximum clip length should be twenty minutes... But it's not. Hop you can help, and thanks in advance. Cheers, Paul [/QUOTE]
