High-quality movie recording and high-speed continuous shooting require large amounts of power. Therefore, if you

continue to shoot, the temperature inside the camera will rise, especially that of the image sensor. In such cases, the

camera will turn off automatically because the surface of the camera is heated to a high temperature or the high

temperature affects the quality of the images or the internal mechanism of the camera.

The duration of time available for continuous movie recording when the camera records with the default settings after

the power has been turned off for a while is as follows. The values indicate the continuous time from when the

camera starts recording until the camera stops recording.

When [Auto Power OFF Temp.] is set to [High]

XAVC S HD: 60p 50M/50p 50M 4:2:0 8bit, when the camera is not connected via Wi-Fi, when using a CFexpress

XAVC S 4K: 60p 150M/50p 150M 4:2:0 8bit, when the camera is not connected via Wi-Fi, when using a CFexpress

The duration of time available for movie recording varies with the temperature, file format/record setting for movies,

Wi-Fi network environment, or condition of the camera before you start recording. If you frequently recompose or

shoot images after the power is turned on, the temperature inside the camera will rise and the recording time

available will be shorter.

If the

(Overheating warning) icon appears, the temperature of the camera has risen.

If the camera stops movie recording due to a high temperature, leave it for some time with the power turned off. Start

recording after the temperature inside the camera drops fully.

If you observe the following points, you will be able to record movies for longer periods of time.

Keep the camera out of direct sunlight.

Turn the camera off when it is not being used.
