Rebel T3 keeps shutting off after few seconds of videoing

I purchased a Rebel T3 for my daughter a few months ago.  We are having trouble getting it to video.  It keeps shutting off after a few seconds.  It has a clean class 10 - 32gb card in it.  Help please!  (we have used a couple different cards in it, they all do fine & take excellent photos, just MAJOR problem trying to use the video mode)  I have a T1i & have no trouble with the video on mine.

The manual may state Class 6 as the minimum speed for reliable HD video capture, but that it is most definitely not the fastest card supported by the camera.
The camera is able to take advantage of cards rated for speeds up to 45MB/s which should be at least 2x faster than the fastest Class 10 cards and about 4.5x faster than a Class 10 card operating at minimum spec of 10MB/s.  A Class 10 card is rated for minimum throughput of 10MB/s write speeds. So, it should be between 7-8x faster than a Class 6 card performing at it's specified minimum 6MB/s speed.
So you really need to be looking at the write speed of the SD cards you buy.  But, this assumes that the SD card is the problem which it may not be.

  • Macbook Pro shuts off after few seconds of gray screen

    Help - I came home to discover my power cord had died and my laptop turned off due to no power. I used a friend's power cord to turn it on later that night and send some emails. I bought a new power cord the next day, plugged in, and turned  the laptop on. It stayed on the gray screen with a spinning wheel beneath the apple logo for a while. I restarted it and it turned off after a few seconds of the gray screen. An empty bar flashes twice horizontally at the bottom before the spinning bar begins.
    I tried booting in safe mode, but it would just stay on the gray screen. I tried doing shift+command+v and received a message about keys out of order and disk error full, can't repair. I was able to boot from the install disc, and when I click "Repair Disc" I get the same erros. Not sure what to do now?

    Would my time machine data be preserved with this?
    Well this is the big gamble. You really don't know for sure.
    TimeMachine has gotten corrupted from a failing original drive and then unable to restore properly to a new drive.
    It's not like you can access the files on a TM drive directly and cherry pick what you need and leave the rest. It's all or nothing.
    If you go erasing your only other copy on the boot drive, which the files still could be accessed from another boot drive, and if you find out the TimeMachine drive can't restore, then your up the creek without a paddle right?
    So if your able, create a data recovery drive and try to rescue your second copy of the files on the boot drive or restore the TM drive to the second boot drive , so this way your files can be accessed directly if you need it and you have two copies again.
    Once you can direclty access your files then you can go about erasing and installing on the internal boot drive.

  • Hp zr2740w turns off after few seconds

    I have the same problem as described in an earlier post:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Audio-Video-Monitors/hp-zr2740w-turns-off-after-few-seconds/m-p...
    My HP zr2740w turns off after a second or so. Tested with vga/dvi/displayport and desktop pc/laptop, so it's not a cable issue.
    My hp zr2740w was bought in July 2012 so it's probably out of warranty. I live in Finland. The webshop I ordered the hp zr2740w does not exist anymore. The HP support pages don't seem to have any support numbers for displays.
    I took the display to a local IT support / electrician guy and he said it's a power supply issue. But he couldn't find a place to order the part so he could replace it.
    Hopefully I'll get some answer here or an idea what to do. Wouldn't want to throw away an expensive display just because it has power issues.

  • Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

    Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

    I doubt that anyone here can answer that question with any validity...
    That being said, try to reset the device:
    *Device reset*
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Shooting a video works sometimes, but sometimes it shuts off after one second without recording any video

    Have had the Turbo Droid for only 3 days and just tried to shoot video. Twice it worked, but more often it seems to begin recording, but shuts off after one second without recording anything.
    Not sure what I'm doing wrong to cause this to happen.
    Can you help?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, EfrainM_VZW.
    Haven't seen any error messages. Occasionallly, but only rarely, the video will record 1-2 frames, but most of the time it just shuts down. I have tried it with and without the rubber-grip case; taking off the case had no effect. The video still would not function.
    When you tap the video camera icon, it tries to shoot video and seems to begin to record, but one (or two) second(s) later, it beeps and stops. Rarely with a frame or so of video; mostly nothing is recorded.
    The still camera works great! Love being able to touch it anywhere to grab a snap.
    BTW, my partner and I got identical phones at the same time last week. His video has the exact same problems as my phone.
    Another point: I downloaded the Google Camera and can shoot video just fine through that camera. But not through the stock Motorola camera that came with the Droid Turbos.
    I'm starting to think we got phones from a defective batch.
    What do you think?

  • My ipod dock keeps shutting off after 1 hour

    I have a Pioneer xw-NAS3 dock and I run a brown noise app at night to help drown out noise.  It had been working fine, and now last night, the dock shuts off on its own and then when I started it back up, it shut off one hour later.  The manual for the Pioneer says that if no ipod is connected in one hour, the unit will shut down, but there is an ipod connected the entire time and the simply noise app is running constantly and not set to shut down.  I'm mostly sure it's a docking issue because it also shut down after 1 hour while using an ipod nano and a predownloaded 12 hour loop of brown noise.  Any ideas to try?  Any help would be appreciated. 
    Thanks.

    Nothing on Pioneer's site for my product. I did email, nothing yet.
    I did try resetting the dock.  didn't solve the problem.
    Yes, the device does charge, and there are no noticeable issues, and like I said, the unit worked great one week ago. 
    No damage or problems evident. 
    Thanks.
