Is it strange? …
More than. If the camera went to overheat for 40 minutes, it can not cool down instantly because the heat capacity of the materials of camera is not zero!
Sony A6500.
About a miracle! In the menu appeared “magic” item “Do not turn off the camera by overheating”. The user of the camera is of course cautioned that he does it at his own risk…
But how can it happen? If the fact of overheating takes place, the camera must not be switched off, otherwise it will break down. If there was no risk of damage to the technology in previous models of the camera, why was it so violently to force us to turn off the camera. They should have given at least a countdown … After all if the camera was going to overheat not less than 40 minutes, then for “5,4,3,2,1” nothing terrible would have happened with it…
Then what is this overheating such that the camera after recording continues to record video and does not turn off by “overheating” again?!
This kind of overheating is called MARKETING.
You have to buy the A6500 and the full-frame A7 (in different versions) or even better FS5, FS7 and further up the price list.
If the A6000 and similar cameras recorded video without any problems, who would spend money from 1500 $ to older cameras?
In a world where the words “heat conductivity” and “heat capacity” are rejected by the electorate at the subconscious level it becomes easier to make us fooled. Is it true, SONY? 😉
great article I would’ve not thought about it being marketing related, really plosible thanks I was having doubts to buy the Sony a6400
a6400 doesn’t overheat – it has passive cooling interface.
