Canon 600D Symbol Help

[NathanMcC]

Hey Everyone First Post here looking for some help with my canon 600D every time I am shooting video i get these 5 boxesphoto.PNG showing up on the screen and once the bar fills the recording just stops it is really annoying especially when trying to film I have no idea what the boxes mean I have looked through the manual and cant seem to find anything about them if anyone can tell me what they mean it would be extremely helpful
Cheers Nathan McC

see the 00:03 on the lower left, that is the time remaining to shoot.

Have a look at page 153 of your manual and see if you have video snapshot set, which can be 2,4,8 seconds. It could be you are using snapshot mode and thus your videos are only short and stop when the time is up.
