I have a couple of Samsung 256gb microSD cards and want to know how much will fit on the card. Here are my questions.

1. How big is a 10 minute video at the various resolutions? Once I know that I can compute how much video I can get on the card.

2. What is the largest file I can create? I want to make sure it doesn't stop recording at a critical point. Could I record a 3 hour video continuously?

I'm preparing for a wedding and I'd like to just "set it and forget it" to record the entire wedding.

As it turns out when the camera is turned on it shows how much video can be created. With my 256gb SD card it's almost 19 hours. I recorded a 10 minute clip and it broke it into 2 files. One of them was 1,822mb (8.5 minutes) and the other was 422mb (1.5 minutes).

I didn't try a 3 hour video, I'll do that later, but I guess I'd need external power for the camera to record that long.
