It's not under warranty. I've used the camera to record 2 hour concerts just fine, although maybe it shut off for those too and I was just unaware of it happening and blamed it on something else at the time.

It was using AC power, not battery power, and I used 2 different cards and the same thing happened. 4k, 29.97fps.

The 30 minute length limitation imposed by the EU is NOT the issue I am describing. The Fuji is supposed to be able to record up to around 30 uninterrupted minutes onto a card, splitting that into roughly 5 minute files. What my camera is doing is not splitting the files in the recording process as it is supposed to but shutting off and stopping the recording after the first 5 minutes expires. It is NOT doing this when it is approaching the card being full, but in the middle of the card being full, around 64GB for the 128GB card. What's bizarre is that once it stops I can just start it up again and it records just fine from that point on. Of course I lose a vital few seconds because of this, not to mention my reputation and my cool, so it's not like this is any kind of a solution. It died on me again today at a crucial moment, and makes me want to throw the camera in the garbage and buy another brand.

I am using a Fuji XT2 to shoot a series of lectures that last around 10 minutes each. For the past several days I’ve been doing this, the camera will stop recording to the end of a movie about 8-10 lectures in. It’s gotten to where I can almost roughly predict when it’s going to happen. It seems to be a problem with the camera reaching it’s 4GB limit in a movie, then shutting off instead of smoothly transitioning to the new file. It only seems to do this once per card per day. After it happens I can continue to record more 10-min lectures onto the card without a problem. Why is it doing this? I am completely exasperated! I am upgraded to the very latest XT2 firmware, am using Velocity 128GB SDXC cards that I bought at a reputable camera store, and I have tried recording on both drive 1 and 2 and with different cards and the problem still persists. It's happened to me about 5 times now. I NEED to solve this problem, as I come across as very unprofessional when I have to tell the person in mid-lecture that she has to start all over again because my camera mysteriously stopped recording. This is a SERIOUS, SERIOUS issue that keeps me from recommending the use of this camera in a professional setting.

#1 Is there some way to see what is the duration of the movie in playback after it is recorded? #2 Is there some way to mark a movie clip as "Good"?
