Hello, I use a Canon EOS R50 for the podcast I am working, after 30 minutes on OBS Studio if I don't press anything on the camera the camera turns into the ebu color bars. I'm unsure of how to fix this, I disabled everything on the power saving mode and I'm unsure how to fix it and stop it from showing the ebu color bars every 30 minutes. Any help would be appreciated!

First I would check your output in OBS Studio to make sure no limits have been inadvertently set. It could possibly be the recording size or frame rate you are shooting and you might try something a little lower if possible.

so I just tried changing the recording size and frame rate lower and it still goes to the ebu color bars every 30 minutes

“ I disabled everything on the power saving mode and I'm unsure how to fix it and stop it from showing the ebu color bars every 30 minutes. “
I would reset the power settings back to the factory default settings it sounds like the camera is turning itself off.
What mode is the camera using? Tell us how to recreate the issue.
