I can only shoot 45sec clips on my K-x, help me!

When i try to shoot video with my K-x it starts recording just fine, but then it stops at 45 seconds. The memory indicator says i can record 12 minutes of video, but it still stops at 45 seconds. How could i fix this?

What kind of SD card are you using?
What is imporant is the "class" rating (number with a circle around it) or a number with a X behind it, it should be on the card

For video, getting a class 10 SD card will give you the longest recording times. I use the Sandisk Extreme cards - I've heard these are some of the better ones for video and fast write speeds.
