2 second recording capacity: EOS Rebel T7

[JaneDoe_2017]

Howdy yall! 

I’m new to the world of photography. The Canon EOS Rebel T7 is the first device outside of my smart phone. 
As I understand the model is supposed to have a maximum running time of 30 minuet's. However, my recordings last only 2 seconds. I did research and verified that my full size SDHC memory cards (16 and 32 GB) were compatible and formatted. 
I could very well be missing something so please offer your experience and be gentle to a newcomer such as myself. Thank you 🙏

JaneDoe_2017,

Set your camera to take videos. Now, hit your Menu button to go into your Menu settings.

Look to see if your camera is set to take Video Snapshots. If it is, then Disable that.
