EOS R6 Mark II Red zeros on screen

Just received my Canon R6 Mark ii,

why does my camera have these red zeros on my screen? Sometimes the camera will stop working.

Looks like maybe the time and/or date settings have not been made in the settings menu.

MeganG,

To my untrained eye, it looks like that display is Movie Recording Time Available.

Here's a link to your camera's Product Manual page that lays out the info display icons and settings, Look at Item# 14:

When available movie record time is shown in red as per your photo, then it is an indication that the current SD card is not suitable for recording movies at the currently selected settings.

If you put a slow card in the camera, and have 4K 59.94P IPB selected then you need to use a card that has a fast enough write speed for that resolution and frame rate.

What card type / speed do you have?
