The video cuts off at the end due to the camera overheating. Turns out that yellow thing on the screen was telling me to "wrap up" recording or whatever, since it shut off not 3 minutes later.
After this, Storman went into the settings of the camera, and came up with this thermal limit setting, which was set to normal, but it had another option, high, so we set it to that, and in my next test (which is not posted on this channel), I got an 1 hour 4 minutes out of it. Not bad, but not good enough for a main camera. I'm thinking we should use this camera as the "table cam" or the portable handheld camera, since the Lumix isn't really meant for that purpose and has many issues regarding that, but this one seems way more tailored to a handheld creator experience.

And yes, it does 4K60. It lied to me though, the footage was recorded in H.265, not the H.264 I was led to believe from the XAVC aspect of it. Nowhere does it say that this camera shoots any HEVC video whatsoever, but that might just be what XAVC HS is, literally just the HEVC version of XAVC..
