I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix TZ8 camera as a replacement for my old one. Have a concert I'm attending tomorrow and need to quickly clear up some confusion in regards to the memory available. I have bought a 16GB SanDisk SDHC memory card but upon inserting the card into my camera, the video function only serves the standard 8mins & 24secs. This is featured in the cameras manual as the default remaining time.
I am really confused as to why I only get 8 mins & 24 seconds on HD & 15 mins on 3 other non HD settings (with a 16gb memory card) whereas on my old Nikon L22 camera I got 24 mins video time with an 8gb memory card!? Could someone confirm that this length of time is correct when the cameras built in memory is used in conjunction with the 16GB card & I havent missed any particular settings in order for it to use the extra memory as well.
Cheers

In response to idac123: Yes, It says it is compatible up to 32gb in SDHC in the manual & also amazon had it linked to purchase with the camera when I bought it. Cheers for taking the time to respond. All I need to know is if the 8 mins odd is correct time to have when you have a 16gb memory card inserted or whether I just need to upgrade the memory card to 32gb. Perhaps it isnt recognising the memory card due to a setting which needs to be altered??
