Sony (and other manufacturers) can implement a different idea of active cooling: put a thin copper plate (like the cooling CPU plate in ultrabooks and mac airbook) on top of the main processor inside the camera. Two thin heat-pipes connect this plate to a heatsink at the bottom of the camera which consists of very short aluminum fins that are exposed (without exposing the interior of the camera) and are thick enough so they don't get damaged by accident. The active cooling is implemented in the vertical grip instead consisting of two small fans which are powered by the batteries inside the grip and can be turned on and off by the user. These fans blow air at the heatsink at the bottom of the camera.
