Can I extend the time on a P2 E series 16g?
I have a 170 I want to use for B roll tomorrow. I have a 16g E series that indicates I have 17 minutes to shoot. I'm in video cam mode.720p 60p.Anyway to extend the time?
Also, it won't record in Loop Mode. Is that just the nature? Thanks Art |

If shooting 720/60p, it's 1Gb per minute. If you shoot 720/24PN (Native) or 30PN, you will get up to 2.5Gb per minute of record time(24PN). That means 43 min. on one 16Gb P2 card.
I don't believe the 170 has Loop Record mode. I know the higher end cameras do. Jeff Regan Shooting Star Video |

Page 47 of the user manual describes how to put the camera into loop recording mode.
You can view the user manual at this link: Learn about Panasonic's AG-HPX170

I set it to Native and extended it. For what ever reason, I didn't see it the first time I did it. The 170 has a loop record setting but I just learned I need two cards for that function. Works fine now.
Thanks Art |

Sorry for my error regarding 170 not having Loop Record. Loop record does not work in 720/24P or PN, nor 720/30PN, but it does work in 720/30P and 720/60P, ditto PreRecord. This is in Video Cam mode, in Film Cam mode, Loop and PreRecord don't seem to work at all.
So, if you're trying to get into a Native record mode, Loop and PreRecord modes don't seem to work, even if Video Cam mode. Jeff Regan Shooting Star Video |
