My canon t3i dslr camera automatically stops recording after about 10 sec. using a class 10 card.

Hello,
My canon t3i dslr camera stops recording automatically after about 10 sec. the manual said to use an SD card of class 6 or higher. I am using a class 10 and I have been able to record long videos in the past and all of a sudden the camera stops recording automatically after about 10 sec. Does anyone know why?  thanks

Hi Rockinruby.
We get this a lot here.  It turns out that even though the card is labeled as a Class 10 card, the most common problem when this occurs... is that it's still a defective card.
Sandisk is a good company and they generally make solid products.  But there are two risks... (1) even Sandisk will occasionally have a bad card or a card that fails prematurely, and (2) it's exceptionally easy to create a forgery (if you peel the labels off these cards, they all look identical.)  
When I buy cards (and I also buy Sandisk and/or Lexar cards), I'm careful to buy cards which well-exceed the specs necessary ... but I'm also careful to buy the cards only from reputable dealers.
If you do a search, you'll find LOTS of articles about fake cards with tips on how to avoid them or how to spot them.
But the bottom line ... at the end of the day you just want your problem solved.  If the card is bad, then there's nothing that you  would be able to do to the camera to make the problem away.  You would really need to replace that card.
The issue that you are having is somewhat common... there are lots of threads on this.  But the majority of these are actually solved simply by replacing the card with a known good card and without making any changes to the camera.  
It's not a guarantee that it's the card... but it's the most common cause.

  • Canon Rebel T5i automatically stops recording after about 6 seconds. How can I disable or fix this?

    I just got a Canon Rebel T5i and I was testing out the video and several times it will automatically stop recording after about 6 seconds. How can I fix or disable this?

    And while buying said faster card... buy a REPUTABLE brand from a reputable vendor.  I've come to the conclusion that there are a lot of fly-by-nights making cards that are not as fast as they claim to be.
    Reputable vendors are companies like Sandisk and Lexar.  But as an SD card is just a plastic card with a sticker on it, and stickers are pretty easy to fake, buy the card from a vendor you can trust is not selling fakes. 
    This is one item where it is probably not a good idea to try to save money by finding the cheapest deal you can find on the Internet.

  • When recording a slideshow, why does audio stop recording after about 30 seconds even though slides and presentation continues?

    I'm doing everything the same and have made many successful slideshow recordings using Keynote, but since updating the Yosemite and then updating Keynote the audio just stops recording after about 30 seconds.
    The slides keep on changing and recording the video, but after 30 seconds the audio stops recording even though it seems to be registering the sound and the mic is not muted in Keynote.
    Is there some change or new setting I am not aware of that needs to be altered?
    Any advice would be helpful as I need to record a lot of presentations.
    OS X Yosemite version 10.10
    Keynote version 6.5
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

    I can't imagine this will work as the the application is tied into a specific computer and user ID to prevent unauthorised use of single use applications. Copying over has not worked with previous versions of Keynote.
    It worked for me. I guess it could be because we bought our Macs together and have home sharing or something. Either way, I'm running Yosemite but with Keynote 6.2.2. and not updating again until Apple do something about this bug.

  • Track stops recording after about an hour

    Hi Everyone,
    I am trying to record from some old tapes in order to create mp3s. The track stops recording after about one hour. The Tape is over one hour long. I read about a similiar problem in the forum and tried dragging the purple timeline marker to the right but it won't move any further. What is this called and what does it do? I also read about changing the sampling rate, but I cannot find where to do this. Where do I find documentation on this?
    Many Thanks for any suggestions.
    Regards,
    Bill

    Garageband 3 doesn't record more than 1999 beats (GB2: 999). Since in your case the beats don´t matter, you can lower the tempo to the minimum (40 bpm) to get a maximum recording time of 3:18:48.
    As for the sample rate: You can't change the export sample rate of GB, it's always 16 bit, 44.1 kbit/s (internally GB works with a higher resolution).

  • Powershot SX510 HS automatically stops recording video after 10 - 15 minutes into the recording.

    Powershot SX510 HS automatically stops recording video after 10 - 15 minutes on continuous recording. Is there a way to turn this off? I would like to record videos until either I press the stop recording button, or the battery gets low. I have turned off all the power saving setting, at least I think I have.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The camera has some recording limitations as all the Canon models do. Below is how you can extend your recording times to a max of about 1 hour but there is a 4BG limit regardless so once it hits 4GB the recording stops and has to be restarted.
    Also the memory card needs to be at least a Class 6 rating or the recording will stop sooner regardless of the clip size.
    This is from page 161 of your manual

  • I've tried 2 different screen capture devices, and in both cases, audio stops recording after 20 or 30 seconds, but video is fine.  The audio disappears

    I've tried 2 different screen capture devices, and in both cases, audio stops recording after 20 or 30 seconds, but video is fine.  The audio disappears with both programs.  Does anyone know what is happening with my audio capture?

    Update, I took the webcam home over the weekend and tried on my home network and the outcome was the same video fine - audio delayed, is this a Skype for desktop issue?

  • Is is possible to stop recording after x blank seconds

    I'm converting quite a few cassettes to mp3 in Garage Band. Is there a way to tell Garage Band to stop recording after a specific number of bland seconds? I'd like to be able to walk away from recording and have it stop recording at the end of the tape.
    Thanks

    turn on the Cycle Region button and stretch the yellow bar to the length you wish to record

  • After upgrading to 10.8.3 my Apple USB keyboard stops working after about 3 hours

    Mac Pro 3,1
    OS X 10.8.3 Server
    32GB RAM
    Apple USB Keyboard works fine after reboot (typing on it now), stops responding after about 3 hours.
    I see nothing in Console that looks like the culprit. Here is everything around the last time it happened - between 11:28 and 11:30 they keyboard just stopped working. Unplugging and re-plugging doesn't bring it back. Changing USB ports doesn't bring it back. Rebooting is the only thing that seems to work. Bluetooth keyboard works before and after.

    After performing normal troubleshooting, these symptoms may indicate that an SMC reset may be necessary:

    The keyboard backlight appears to behave incorrectly (on Mac computers that have this feature).

  • Stop à panoramic after 20 sec

    Hello,
    I generate a 360 view with this code :
    The animation always turn around, and I'd like to stop it
    after 30 sec.
    Someone can help me ?
    I try to use setInterval and clearInterval, but surely
    badly...
    Thanks

    Define a function to stop your onEnterFrame after 30 second.
    EXAMPLE:
    ========
    function stopMyAnimation() {
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    // you can also remove the "this." if you are in the root
    //now you have to clear the interval that we'll create
    shortly;
    clearInterval(t1);
    //Now we set an Interval with it's id (t1) to execute after
    30 sec to stop your animation after deleting your onEnterFrame;
    t1 = setInterval(stopMyAnimation,30000);
    //where 30000 = 30 sec.
    //hope this works with you

  • I bourgh the iphone 4 apple store in UK. When I buy they said its already unlock. I came to my country and try to use diffrent SIM card but its saying 'No Services'. How can I unlock my phone Please?

    I bourgh the iphone 4 in apple store UK. When I buy they said its already unlock. I came to my country and try to use diffrent SIM card but its saying 'No Services'. How can I unlock my phone Please? If anyone know UK tec support email ID please let me know????
    Thanks

    The ONLY source of unlocked iPhones in UK is Apple retail Stores ( Apple owned )
    all others will be locked to a carrier (did you buy from carphonewarehouse )
    Only the carrier who locked it can unlock the iPhone
    Apple do NOT unlock iPhones
    If you purchased from Apple (the Apple ) then contact the store
    if not it is locked to a carrier

  • The audio in "speak screen" stops working after a few uses. IOS 8.2 did not fix this problem unfortunately. I'm using the Alex voice on a Sprint iPhone 6 plus- if that matters.

    I really enjoy the speak screen feature, as the voiceover is too inconvenient and tricky to use. The speak screen option works oerfectly for reading, and helps me as I'm dyslexic. However, the Alex voice stops working after the initial use or soon after. I then have to restart the phone every time in order to get the speak screen to acruelly speak again. Really annoying and was hoping that IOS 8.2 Would fix this, but it appears it had not fixed this bug. Any help with this?

    Any problem when connected to another wi-fi network besides your own?
    The only additonal troubleshooting options after powering the iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset, and resetting network settings on the iPhone is restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup and/or restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup - the same when connected to any wi-fi network besides your own as well as not being able to maintain internet access when connected to your carrier's cellular network, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • Apple updates start to download and then stop inexplicably after about 4,7Mb

    Apple updates start to download and then stop inexplicably after about 4,7Mb with message download server unavailable or download file can not be read. This is a recent problem on my Macbook Pro.
    Any ideas?

    Your problem is that everyone seems to be using the same iTunes store account (ID).  That's fine when a family wants to share purchased items, but that's the rub - everyone is tapping into the same account, so they can download whatever is available.
    As for icloud accounts, icloud is designed for single user use.  If multiple users share the same icloud account then all their devices will be synced together - same emails, same contacts and calendars, same notes, etc.  There is no privacy or division of data in this scenario.  The usual advice is for everyone to have their own ID for icloud, and share the family ID for iTunes store.
