Power Saving Mode?

My Canon VIXIA HFM50 keeps turning off automatically after 30 minutes of recording. Is this in the power saving mode or something? I don't want it to automatically turn off at all during recording. How do I change this?

It sounds like the battery is dying after 30mins. The power save mode would not turn off the camcorder during a recording. It's also possible it's a defect but the battery is more likely the culprit.
