No, it is the battery, that is dropping below 7.2 VDC in about 15min. The camera needs a minimum 7.2 VDC input from the battery or it turns off, same with the Micro Cinema camera. I had a Canon LP/E6 battery that was going bad, domthe same thing. Finally, the battery stopped taking a charge. Switch to a new Canin LP/E6 battery for best results. You can also test the camera by plugging in the mains power cord, and see if it shuts off.
There is no auto shoput down on the camera, except when under powered. Unlike a non-Studio video/recorder camera like the Cinema camera, the Micro Studio is drawing full power from the battery the entire time it is turned on, it does not have a standby mode, so battery consumption is going to be greater, and run time via battery depending on the quality of the battery being used. Canon OEM batteries seem to give the best results.
