zNotes on long-time recording

• When you continue to shoot for a long time, the temperature of the camera rises. If the temperature

reaches above a certain level, shooting stops automatically.

Leave the camera for 10 minutes or longer to allow the temperature inside the camera to decrease to

a safe level.

• Under high ambient temperatures, the temperature of the camera rises quickly.

• When the temperature of the camera rises, the image quality may deteriorate. It is recommended

that you wait until the temperature of the camera drops before continuing to shoot.

• The surface of the camera may get hot. This is not a malfunction.
