Movie times out EOS2000D

[Jerry4]

When in Movie mode, camera stops at early times.  7 minutes, 11 minutes.  I thought it was to run 29 minutes?

I am going to try another card and format it on “low” format and see what happens. After that I’ll see if I can call Canon I guess.

I have a new EOS2000D.  So I have sent this question to Cannon.  They only have 4 options for recording size:
1920X1080/30
1920X1080/24
1280X720/60
640X480/30

So even at the lowest recording size, it still times out well before 29.9 minutes.

"Even on the lowest movie recording size, the camera times out (4GB) after only 10-12 minutes. Are there no options for size like 1080X720 so I am not chunking up so much file space? Goal is to shoot 29.9 minutes. Timing out at 11 minutes is too soon."

Thanks for your help and I will close this off for now.

OK

My mistake:  If I run 64X480@30fps I can reach 29.59 minutes/ 2.61 GB.  but of course the aspect is like 4:3.  Oh well.

These are unfortunately the limits when working with video on equipment where that's the not primary feature.

For effectively unlimited video times, look to using either a camcorder or a cinema camera.
