Camera video light turns off around 40 minutes?

Hey guys,

I was recording a long vid today using the video light (using the stock camera app) and the video light turned off by itself after about 40 minutes of recording. At first I thought the battery was dead when I checked I still had like 60 some percent of battery remaining so obviously it wasn't that.

Does this phone turn the light off after so many minutes? Totally ruined my video, not a happy camper at all!

I'm completely speculating, but maybe it has to do with the led circuitry heating up.

That sucks, it never did that with my iPhone

What the heck are you filming for 40 minutes on a phone?

probably to prevent from overheating..... if you need to record for that long at night use a flashlight or turn on the lights if its indoor lol
