Canon 5D Mark IV Video Stops Automatically within Seconds of Filming

Canon 5D Mark IV shooting 4K HD and I have no issues with photo but now 75% of the time I shoot video it stops filming automatically within seconds and says "". I've tried different memory cards including my Sandisk 512gb 200mb  and nothing seems to work. I've done a firmware update and that didn't work either. I've had the camera since 2017 and this is a new issue. 

Is it my settings, my camera? Anyone else had this issue or ideas for resolution?

Greetings disab21,

Sorry to hear that your EOS 5D Mark IV camera is having issues with recording video. In case you are using SD cards, then let's check and perform a low-level format on the card from within the camera prior to recording video. Please note that formatting a card will erase all data from the card.

Please also check to ensure that the card slot is free from debris as well as wiping the contacts on the memory card with a dry microfiber cloth. The camera may have trouble with constant data transfer to a card if there is poor communication between the camera and the memory card.

I would also suggest on using official Canon battery packs in case you are using non-Canon batteries. One last thing you could try is to reset the camera settings to see if this helps resolve the issue. If the issue persists, then the next step would be to suggest on sending the EOS 5D Mark IV camera to our facility for repair.
