Hi,
My camera is a Canon M3 and recently it keeps stopping half way when shooting videos. It will show a bar at the side and when it stops, it will have 'busy' writen for a long time. HELP ME. ;(

I use this SD card
This card is your problem. Your card may be fine for photo use, but it seems to be much too slow for video use.
The icon you see on your display is the internal buffer warning. When it fills up, the camera stops everything to finish writing data to the card. [see page 174 of the Instruction Manual]
The “80 MB/s” written on the card is misleading. That is the peak write speed, not the continuous, sustained write speed. It seems like every manufacturer labels their products in this way. Try using the card John suggested, SanDisk “Exteme Pro”. I use only these card for both photo and video use, and have never ran into any buffer issues.
I recommend a 32 GB card in Canon cameras. But, if you buy an SDXC card, 64 GB or higher, take extra care to only purchase a UHS-I card. Most SDXC cards are UHS-II, which [most] Canon cameras cannot use. The SanDisk “Extreme Pro” is a UHS-I card, so you should be fine with that model.
Also, beware of buying cards on web eBay and Amazon. There are a lot of counterfeit products out there. You have a nice camera, so do not compromise its’ performance with a cheap card, or a bogus card. It would be Ike buying a nice new car, and then only using the cheapest gas and oil you could find.
