The level at which the camera will turn off automatically as its internal temperature rises can be selected from [Standard] and [High].
- When [Standard] is selected, the camera will display first a F and then a G icon as its internal temperature rises, switching to a count-down timer if the temperature increases still further.
- When [High] is selected, the camera will display F, G, and H icons as its internal temperature rises, switching to a count-down timer if the temperature increases still further.
- When the count-down timer reaches zero, the camera will turn off automatically and further photography will be suspended.
Caution: [High]
Although selecting [High] gives you more time before the camera shuts down, the camera may become hot to the touch. We recommend using a tripod or other equipment to reduce the time spent touching the camera.
Cautions: When the camera is hot
- In some cases, the count-down timer may be displayed the moment the camera is turned on, even when [High] is selected.
- Image quality may drop when the camera is hot.
- Memory cards and batteries inserted in a hot camera may also become hot. In this case, do not attempt to remove the memory cards or batteries immediately, instead, wait for the camera to cool.
