The E-M1 owner's manual specifies 29 minutes as the maximum recording
time for the 4 HD modes of 1920x1080 or 1280x720 using MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.
However, the maximum for HD and SD modes of 1280x720 or 640x480 using
Motion JPEG is specified not in time but as a maximum 2GB file size.
Why there is a time limit for one format and a file size limit for
another is a mystery to me.

As I own a system of OM-D, seems E-M5 II is perfect upgrade for both still
image & video shooting.
Recent I'm interested for Fuji XT-1 and considering to switch to it for
upgrade my digital stuffs. However, have found information about its video
shooting feature is not as good as Olympus E-M5 II as comparison as
following:-
Full HD 1920 x 1080 60p / 50p*3 / 30p / 25p*3 / 24p*3, Continuous recording
: up to approx. 14 min.
HD 1280 x 720 60p / 50p*3 / 30p / 25p*3 / 24p*3, Continuous recording : up
to approx. 27 min.
(information from
http://www.fujifilm.com.hk/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x_t1/specifications/
)
Olympus E-M5 II (information from Olympus HK website)
MOV format: approximate 29 mins
There are seldom discussion about video shooting of XT-1 in Hong Kong
photography forums and just rough comments XT-1 video shooting is suck.
I'm not sure the information is correct or not? Any comment?
By the way, I'm working in operating of MTR. Recent I am invited to produce
an video as training material for control centre colleagues. As a single
trip for Airport Express is about 32 mins but the recording time max. 29
mins for Olympus stuffs. Thus, a longer recording time or no limit
recording time until the memory card full is preferably. Any recommendation
too?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Michael
