Continous Recording Not Working On The Sony Hdr-xr550

Why is the continous recording cutting off after 12 minutes 35 seconds on the Sony HDR-XR550. For example, if I want to record a video of 30 minutes non stop...The camera will automatically create 2 videos of 12 minutes plus one of the remaining time of 6 minutes. How can I change the options to make a single (continous) video clip of 30 minutes? Thank you
