Hey Andy thanks for reporting your findings. I used mine yesterday with a LP-E6N as my new battery was charging. I had mine at 120fps also. I was in H+ mode. It was very hot out here too. I did not get a heat warning.
My battery is from 2019 from my EOS R, not that it should matter but it is a newer battery. Curious how the new battery will do. I did take my CFExpress card out right away and noticed the card was very warm.
Thanks Rob. The warning I got was a small flame at the top of the viewfinder. Some people might see that and just ignore it. I don't expect everyone's shooting style to have overheating. I just don't see how anyone is going to get a high frame-rate with anything other than the custom R5 battery LP-E6NH.
I will get a grip to get more runtime and get that heat out of the inside of the camera.
Everything else I like about the camera. Even the high ISO shots look really great.
Honestly I would return the camera if I was in your situation. This overheating issue with stills is something that has not been mentioned by reviewers. All of this overheating has seem to center around shooting video. You have been the first documented case that I have read about with stills so to be safe I would return it and make sure this is not an issue with your specific camera. If you pick up another one and you still have overheating issue with stills then we know this is a more prevalent issue.
Also, I am sure all of us are now keeping an eye out to see if anyone else is having an issue with overheating when it comes to stills. I shoot mainly stills so your case has me concerned.
