how to remove the 4gb limit on my point and shoot camera?

Question by kenny c: how to remove the 4gb limit on my point and shoot camera?
ok my canon elph 110 point and shoot camera always stops at 4gb even though there's 4gb left on the card . I researched and it said it's the limit then I have to hit record again. I can't do this when i'm recording volleyball games since i'm playing. How do I make my camera record continuously without stopping.

You cannot

The 4 gb per video file is a physical restriction caused by the FAT32 format used by memory cards.

Since you can get from 17 to 20 minutes on a 4 gb file, it is no different than when we used to shoot 16 mm or 35 mm motion pictures

400 feet of 16 mm film only captured 11 minutes at 24 frame/s

400 feet of 35 mm film only captured 3.5 minutes worth of film.

So the 4 gb limit of from 17-20 minutes is actually a blessing to videographers

In order to shoot such long takes, you need to buy a mini-DV video camera and buy 60 minute tapes
