Shooting video on Nikon D90
Aug 7, 2015 12:13:47 #
I've noticed when shooting video on my camera, it would shut down after a short time. Then eventually I would even have a shorter time to record. I found this out due to a bulb that is used while recording and when exposed for
so long, it will shut down to cool off. I've also been told that my settings may need to be adjusted i.e., the size of my SD card needs to be increased which I don't think I have an issue as I'm using a 32G with nothing on it, video quality settings may be too high on the camera. Is this accurate? I've increased gigs on my card lowered the video settings. Or is there another way to continue to record longer without this kind of interruption I'm having? Any help would be appreciated.

The D90 has a video record limit of 5 minutes, and it cannot be changed.
Use of a slow SD card may reduce that record time even further.

As I recall My D90 does the same. I remember reading that when shooting video the sensor gets really hot and the camera shuts down to prevent sensor damage. I recall 10 minutes being the max suggested time for video capture.

The recorder limit on the D90 of 5 minutes is to keep the electronics in the camera from overheating while shooting video. It is a built-in safety to protect the camera and can not or should not be overridden. All of the Nikon cameras that shoot video have a time limitation on video but the time varies from model to model, with the D800 and D4x. The newer models including the D7100 have an hdmi (micro) out that can be hooked directly to a professional video recorder in order to shoot segments for film.

As they said you might over heat your camera and damage it. I shoot Canon but these guys and gals know what they are talking about especially of they are Nikon users..

My camera does have a slot for HDMI. I can try going that route. Thanks.
Even recording from hdmi, the camera is still limited to 5 minutes of recording at a time. With the people shooting professionally... the upper end has a longer recording time.. some as much as 20 min and the movie studios stated that 20 min was fine because that was about as much dialog as their talent could remember in one take anyway. Then they just edit the takes together.

Never had any problem like that with my D90, but was limited as explained below. The bulb explanation is specious. "The Nikon D90's movie resolutions include 1280x720 (16:9), 640x424 (3:2), and 320x216 (3:2). Recording times are limited to five minutes per clip for HD mode, and 20 minutes per clip for the latter two modes. Nikon couldn't explain the reason for the limit as of this writing, but it's likely due to sensor heating issues that might start to degrade image quality." http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D90/D90VIDEO.HTM
Remember that the D90 was the first DSLR that did videos.
On my D7000 and D7100, you can only record for about 20 minutes for a cut. But you can immediately start a new cut. Canon and others also have this kind of limitation also. It is no big deal as one ordinarily makes a long video from a bunch of shorter clips anyway.

My Canon T5i is suppose to go for 30 minutes but I have never pressed it that long for fear of over heating the sensor. You would think they could figure out how to make a sensor that wouldn't heat up as easy. I don't know squat about the way the sensor works so they may never go over 30 minutes unless some of the camera geniuses figure it out.

I no longer have my D90 but I think this answer is correct for the highest resolution.
