Any help or information would be much appreciated, thanks! The T6 is Canon's bottom rung, entry level DSLR. The camera can auto-focus when shooting stills, but it lacks the ability to auto-focus at real time when shooting video.
The flip-out screen is also great for shooting video. Speaking of video recording, the T6i/T6s can capture 1080p Full HD at 30 fps. The Canon EOS T6s is the first Rebel DSLR to have an LCD data panel on the top.
There is no means to add an external microphone to a Rebel T6. Period. The camera body is designed to be an entry level DSLR, and as such, it is not a high performance camera. It lack many amenities that one may take for granted, like having an external microphone input.
Camera Settings

- Turn the camera dial to the movie mode (camera icon)
- Press the Menu button and adjust the following settings Canon Rebel Video Settings Guide.
- Press the red video record button near the viewfinder to start video recording.
Probably this is due to the heating of your camera as its sensors are continuously working while recording. The camera automatically stops the recording to cool down at a safe temperature. When the camera is overheated it shows a notification in the live view.

Most cameras have audio recordings but choosing to apply the audio recording or not, are the issue. In our CCTV world, there are two types of cameras used for surveillance. There is the IP CCTV and the analog CCTV and both can record audio pretty well.
DSLRs (and many other mirrorless and digital cameras) are marvels of video capture technology, but they're not really meant to record for long periods on end. For most long-form needs, you'll need to look for cheaper camcorder options or a few higher-end options.
Your DSLR camera records sound, but the quality isn't that great. External microphones usually attach to the top of your camera and plug into the camera's microphone jack on the side. There are different types of external microphones, but the two most common are shotgun and stereo microphones.

This is because once a DSLR records past 30 minutes, it is considered a video camera and has higher tax laws. If you aren't on a budget there are DSLR's out there that don't have this recording limit such as the Panasonic GH4 and GH5.
Nikon D7000 and Canon's DSLR can record maximum 20 min of video (13 min for Canon) because of the FAT32 limitation. Maximum file size for a FAT32 is 4GB. Canon has a bitrate of 6 MB/s that's means it will fill up the 4 GB in about 12 minutes.

The Canon EOS Rebel T6 / EOS 1300D is a solid if uninspiring entry-level DSLR, eschewing eye-catching features in favour of solid image quality at a low cost. It's a good option for beginners, but there are better spec'd entry-level DSLRs available if you're willing to pay a little more.
HD Video Recording.The T5 also has 720p HD video at the faster 60/50p frame rates for better fast action videos. And unlike the T3, the Canon T5 allows for manual control of aperture, shutter speed and ISO for video recording.

The Canon 750D offers better video specifications, WiFi and NFC. The Canon 750D has a more modern processor (Digic6), which according to Canon has a positive effect on the signal-to-noise ratio at high ISO values and on the AF (19 AF points vs 9 AF points on the 700D).
If you own the Canon T3i and want to use it for vlogging - good luck. It's a great crop sensor DSLR even to this day, but its capabilities on the video side are lacking. The camera doesn't have true auto-focusing, but there's sort of one way around that.
Canon T6i. The Canon EOS Rebel T6i (also referred to as the EOS 750D in other markets) was first released in April 2015. It is an entry-level DSLR with an APS-C sensor that works with Canon EF (full-frame) and EF-S (APS-C specific) lenses.
The EOS 1300D can record video at up to 1080p at 30fps, which is a shame considering that its competition can go up to 60fps. Video quality is good for most lighting conditions as you have the ability to manually set the exposure. There isn't any stabilisation for video so you'll need a steady hand or a tripod.
