But if a person is operating the camera, then the time limitations becomes a non-issue as you just shoot, stop, start again.
So for a dance performance that lasts 2 hours, if I simply turn it off for several seconds between dances, then the still camera can record the whole thing? That would work. For theatre it might still be a problem.
