Chosen Solution

With a fresh battery and fresh SD card the camera will shut off moments after starting to record a video and say “charge the battery” I turn it back on and the battery is full. This is such a frustrating issue and I dont want to spend hundreds to send it to cannon when the fix might be simple.

Mine was a 2013 model which would run the batteries dead when not in use. This well-known problem ‘developed’ over time,,, of course, just as the warranty expired. It is a nice camera for still pictures. Period. Remove battery after use.
