Recording Video

Using the Fan

The camera uses an internal cooling fan to reduce the camera’s internal heat. In mode, you can change

the fan’s operation mode and speed. In mode, the fan runs at all times but you can select its speed.

Setting the Fan’s Operation in Mode

In addition to the fan’s operation mode, you can select independently the

fan speed used while recording and in record standby mode.

1 Open the fan’s [Mode] submenu.

[ System Setup] > [Fan] > [Mode]

2 Select the desired option and then press SET.

If you selected [Automatic]:

3 To set the fan speed to be used while recording, select [Fan Speed (REC)] and then press SET.

4 Select the desired fan speed and then press SET.

• Repeat steps 3 and 4, selecting [Fan Speed (STBY)] to set the fan speed in record standby mode.

• The [Maximum] option offers the maximum cooling effect but is available only for [Fan Speed (STBY)], as it is

noisier.

If you selected [Always On]:

3 Select [Fan Speed (Always)] and then press SET.

4 Select the desired fan speed and then press SET.

Options

[Automatic]: The fan runs while the camera is not recording and is automatically turned off while the camera

is recording. However, if the internal temperature of the camera is too high (b appears in red),

the fan will be activated automatically (in that case, ` will appear next to the b icon). When

the camera’s temperature has decreased sufficiently, the fan will be turned off. Use this setting

when you do not want the camera to pick up the fan’s operating sound.

[Always On]: The fan runs at all times.

Setting the Fan Speed in Mode

1 Open the [Fan Speed] submenu.

[ System Setup] > [Fan Speed]

2 Select the desired fan speed and then press SET.

IMPORTANT

• While the fan is running, the exhaust vent will emit warm air.

• Be careful not to obstruct in any way the fan’s air vents (A 14, 15).

NOTESNOTES

• Depending on the ambient temperature and other shooting conditions, the fan may not turn off even if you set

its operating mode to [Automatic].
