About the temperature alert icon \

During camera use, if the temperature of the battery or inside the camera (excluding the battery) rises, a temperature alert icon \will appear as described below.

kWhen the battery or internal camera (excluding battery) temperature rises during use

h During camera use, if the temperature of the battery or inside the camera (excluding the battery) rises, a \icon lights on the monitor. It is still possible to record and play back even when the \icon is lit; however it is advised that you discontinue use as soon as possible and turn the camera off.

h If the temperature rises further, the \icon will start to flash, and the camera will turn off automatically.

The camera cannot be turned on until the temperature has dropped (or as long as the \icon remains flashing). Please wait until the temperature has dropped before resuming use.

h During video recording, a countdown indicator will show the time starting about 15 seconds before shutdown. When the indicator shows 0 seconds, recording stops.

h If the camera is turned off while the temperature is high (that is, while the \icon is flashing), it cannot be turned on again until the temperature has dropped (or as long as the \icon remains flashing).
