Canon T5i Shutter Issue??

[kkola]

Hello, I just recently purchased a T5i Rebel. I was playing around with it and it sounded like there was something wrong with the shutter. It seems slow and maybe a little sluggish. If I hold down the shutter, it starts somewhat quick then quickly slows down the rate it takes pictures at. I'm not sure if this is how it should be or if there's something wrong with it. I attached a video. Someone please help.

Welcome to the forum:

A question or two.  Does the shutter speed return to normal after being left alone for a while?

What are the specs for your memory card: capacity, speed, brand etc. Is it a full0-size SD card or a micro-SD card with an adapter?

My first observation is that the save light is active and then the LCD shows a busy display.  From that, my suspicion is that your storage card is very slow, or even faulty.

I attached a picture of the SD card. It is a micro-SD with an adapter. As for the shutter speed it pretty much stays the same. This microsd is a SDXC UHS-I which is 120GB and speeds up to 120MB/s.

and that is 120mb/s read speed

Micro SD cards with adapters are not encouraged for Canon cameras because the adapters often give problems.  To eliminate the card from the issue, do you have a full-size SD card available you can try to use instead?

At the moment I do not. Tomorrow I will pick one up and hopefully it will solve the issue. I will get back to you once I am able to pick one up and test it out.

Is there a certain speed or certain specs you recommend?

[Tronhard]

The issue might be the exact opposite of my first thought - you are using a 9 year-old camera with a very fast card. Generally Canon cameras do not work well with MicroSD cards and adapters to begin with, and that might be exacerbated by using a far faster card than it was originally designed for.  To try to eliminate the card, do you have a full-size SD card you can substitute for the one you are using?

[kkola]

Not currently. So when I get a chance tomorrow, lower speed full SD card is what I should look for? So would 95 speed be okay? Or more like 30 MB/s?

[Tronhard]

No particular suggestions, but I would not necessarily go for the big cards that didn't exist when the camera model was designed. Let the salesperson know the age of the camera and see what they suggest.  As to capacity, maybe something in the 32GB region - you will still have lots of images as the 5Ti files are nowhere near as big as something like the R5 or 5Dsr!

Do you shoot in RAW, JPG or both?
