We have heard many users complain about issues with recording videos on a DSLR camera. A common complaint is that videos stop recording after a couple of minutes and an error message ‘Recording was stopped automatically’ is displayed.

Why does this happen? And how can this be avoided or resolved? If you’re looking for answers, please go through this article, as we are going to provide some helpful solutions.

Causes and solutions for the error ‘Recording was stopped automatically’

DSLR recording limits: Usually cameras have a recording time of 29 minutes and 59 seconds. Anything over this limit is considered as a video camera. So many DSLR’s have the same ’29 min’ to avoid being called a video camera and bear unnecessary tax expenses. So if you’re trying to record over this limit and receiving the error, now you know why! Of course, in this case, the camera should allow you to continue recording after pressing the play button again.

Use a high-speed SD card: Read and write speeds are nothing but how fast the camera can store and retrieve information. Based on this concept of read/write speed, SD cards are classified into a number of different classes. The higher the class number, the better is the quality of the SD card. For example, Class 9 or 10 is better than Class 6.

For DSLR’s, it is recommended that you have a Class 6 SD card or higher. If the SD card is slower than Class 6, it means that your SD cards will not be able to match with the camera’s speed and may contribute to issues with recording videos. Hence, for best results, use a class 10 good quality SD card.

Turn OFF your camera and cool it: The recording may stop midway if the camera is being overheated or overused. The sensors in your camera will safeguard the device by way of stopping the camera.

Over-heating usually happens when you are shooting in hot temperatures for a long period of time. In this case, turn OFF your camera and use only after it has cooled down completely.

Use a new memory card: Memory cards usually have a size limit of 4GB for individual files. So, if you’re recording movies of over 4GB, the camera will create a new file and continue recording on that. However, if the memory card is full and there is no place to create additional files, then you may see ‘Recording has stopped’ error. In that case, you will have to use a new memory card to continue recording.

Of course, even if you’re not recording movies of over 4GB but your memory card is full, you may receive a recording error. Even in that case, replace your card and try again.

Are you having trouble playing your video files?

Normally, if you’re having trouble playing your video files, it is probably due to an incompatible player or due to corruption in the file. The first case can, of course, be solved by using a better media player, but the latter, even easier. Just download Remo Repair MOV and repair your MOV and MP4 files.

Remo Repair MOV is the perfect HD repair utility to repair all kinds of corruption issues with your MOV and MP4 files. The best part about using this software is that it uses a read-only mechanism to repair your file, so you can expect the repaired file to have the same data as the original.

Conclusion

If your movie recording has stopped suddenly, it is mostly due to SD cards like explained above. Of course, slow read/write speeds and space constraints are some of the reasons, but a corrupt SD card can also produce such errors. In this case, it is advisable that you recover data from the SD card and replace it. Once that’s done, you should be able to record videos smoothly.

As an Outlook user, you may already be familiar with PST files and how important they are for Outlook. For those who are new to PST files, they are local data files containing all Outlook information like emails, contacts, calendars etc. These files are extremely essential for Outlook to function.

Any damage or corruption to these PST files can affect the performance of Outlook and hence they need to be repaired immediately should you encounter any issue. In order to repair these PST files, you can make use of a built-in tool called Scanpst, provided by Microsoft.

Case 1: Fix Oversized PST file

PST files have a copy of every email, every attachment and basically everything in your Outlook. So over time, this file can grow very large if not maintained. This large file can make Outlook slow or cause other issues. And when Scanpst tries to repair a large PST file, it may get stuck and cause the ‘Not responding’ error. In order to fix this issue, PST files can be compacted using the steps below.

To compact a PST file,

1. First of all, delete Outlook items you don’t need anymore and also empty the Deleted Items folder
2. Click File > Account Settings > Account Settings
3. Go to the Data files tab and select the data file that you wish to compact
4. Click Settings > Advanced Tab > Outlook Data file settings
5. In the dialogue box that opens, click Compact Now

Now the size of the PST file will be reduced and you should be able to run Scanpst on it to resolve corruption issues. However, if this doesn’t help, proceed to the next step.
