No CFExpress card in the camera, just a fast SD card. Recording MP4 10-bit. The red outline shows around the LCD screen when recording. Says "REC" at the top of the screen. BUT nothing records. No files. Put in a CFExpress card. Same thing except it records to the CFExpress card. Hmmm. Take out the CFExpress to repeat the process. This time I notice the tally light on top of the camera stays green during REC. Red box around the LCD, displays REC at the top of the LCD, tally light on top of camera is green - no recording. With CFExpress everything is the same except the tally light on top of the camera is red. I shot for a couple hours. All indications showed it was recording. Didn't record a single file. Firmware 1.0.6.1

Note that it will greatly depend upon what codec you're using in terms of if the SD card could even handle it. There's a reason for the CFexpress slot; that allows for much greater write speeds. An SD card will max out at 90 MB/s sustained writes (V90).

I understand that. It will error out if the card is too slow. There was no error. I shot for a couple hours. The red outline tally remained lit as did the REC indicator.

What specific codec are you using though?

Please identify the card(s) you are shooting with as well. Brand, model, type, speed, etc.

madwiser,
This is just a thought, but do you know if you have Clean HDMI output enabled.
I have a T8i, and the manual says that if you have Clean HDMI output enabled, movies are not saved to the card.
When you set the mode to the recording mode, It's in the first menu, #4, under HDMI Info disp. My manual is says that if either Clean 4K or Clean HD are enabled, movies are not saved to the card.

I tried reproducing this with my R5C, but couldn't.
So I dunno. Maybe you have a card that's right on the edge? Or maybe you have a card which isn't communicating errors to the camera properly? So mabe try a different brand of SD card, and make sure it's V90.
