Which Is Best To Use To Record An Hour And A Half Event--- Sd Card Or Camcorder?

We purchased the Vixia HF R400 yesterday and plan to record a musical theater event that will last 1 and 1/2 hours.  Should we use the camcorder alone or the SD 32 card that we purchased. There was a warning about the battery life possibly only being one hour.  How do we handle that for this event?

No don't use the internal memory because it might run out of place. Use the sd card because it has plenty of space and then upload it on to your computer.
