- 4K24 using highest possible bitrate
- Camera had screen open sitting on my office desk while recording (no hand holding at all)
- High temp mode on
- Test conducted in coldest area of my house (basement) during Winter time in Canada
Camera recorded for 35 Min and was pretty hot but did not overheat and shutdown.
I stopped the recording and immediately switched over to 4K60 highest possible bitrate
- Camera had screen open sitting on my office desk while recording (no hand holding at all)
- High temp mode on
- Test conducted in coldest area of my house (basement) during Winter time in Canada
Camera overheated and shut off after 2min of recording.
As a professional this scenario to me proves this is not a professional workhorse video camera. Imagine filming a wedding ceremony in a church where the camera could run for 40-50min straight or more at 4K24 and going outside to get some slow-mo 4K60 of the bridal party after the church and the camera overheats after 2-3min of shooting.
I don't know if I have a dud but I am surprised way more people are not talking about this.
