Notes About Camera Temperature
• The camera temperature may increase significantly when used for
an extended period of time for movie recording, etc. or when
used in places with high ambient temperature.
• If the camera becomes extremely hot while recording a movie,
the camera automatically terminates recording after 30 seconds.
The camera monitor displays the number of seconds (B30s)
remaining until automatic termination is activated.
Five seconds after movie recording is terminated, the camera
turns off. Wait until the internal temperature decreases before using it again.
