t2i-t3i 'Movie recording has been stopped automatically' in bright scene.

[Rob B]

Using a Class 6 Transcend card, I got the error message 'Movie recording has been stopped automatically'. Googling revealed that this is a buffer issue.. I'm getting better memory cards.

But here is the question:

I've used these cards on my HD camcorder.. I figure the t3i might be capturing more data.. What I don't understand is why does it happen with bright light, and with blown out light in the scene? I was shooting a low light interior shot just fine last evening, but as soon as panned across a large plasma TV that looked blown out, the camera 'Movie recording has been stopped automatically' error-ed.

I just want to make sure it's not something else.

Thanks for the help.

Wow, I just bought 2 class 10 SanDisk's because I was afraid of trouble. Dang.

Rob, sorry for you troubles, bro. I know you were stoked to get that camera. Have faith, though, you'll get that thing running smooth soon.

No sweat CV, I am trouble free since I favored better cards, and I am very stoked at the t3i's ability to amaze me compared to my previous camera..

The vid above was just 'proof' that a card can act normal... say, while you sit in your office filming white walls, and then fail as the image and sound gets more sophisticated. For me it was helpful to rule out heat, and rule in the fact bad cards are in fact bad, hahah..

If your using the Magic Lantern firmware on a T2i then be glad you have them, as you should be able to max out the Q-scale and have nice long high quality video.

As a matter of fact I do, but didn't understand Q-scale enough to take it off of factory settings. I don't want to hijack the thread and I know there are other members who have class 10 cards - SO - If you were in the mood to explain that on another thread it would be greatly appreciated.

This is good news. Glad to hear it!

Haha, well I personally don't run it as I only have the T3i, but I have watched enough videos and one guy comes to mind on this subject. I will try to find some videos to help clarify things about it.

For some info on the magic lantern settings.

Here is a video he states he made with the Qscale set to -16

When I talked to him through his comments section, he said he uses the SanDisk class 10 cards because they are able to keep up with the -16 speed. Hope this helps. He also has some nice tutorials too and videos too!
