Temperature Warnings

If the camera temperature becomes elevated, a high-temperature warning (K) and count-down timer will be displayed. When the timer reaches zero, the shooting display will turn off.
The temperature at which the count-down timer starts can be selected from [Standard] and [High] using [Auto temperature cutout] in the setup menu.
The timer turns red when the thirty second mark is reached. In some cases, the timer may be displayed immediately after the camera is turned on.

High-Temperature Warnings

If the camera becomes hot, a high-temperature warning (K) may appear in the shooting display.

Note that the camera body, battery, and memory card may be hot while the high-temperature warning (K) is displayed.
Wait for the warning to clear from the display before removing memory cards from the camera. Attempting to remove the memory cards immediately may cause burns or cause the cards to be dropped and damaged.

When the Wi-Fi Connection Indicator Flashes Rapidly

When the camera becomes hot while wirelessly connecting to a computer or smart device, the Wi-Fi connection indicator (U) flashes rapidly and wireless transmission is interrupted.

Wait for the camera to cool before reconnecting the camera to the computer or smart device.
When the Wi-Fi connection indicator (U) flashes rapidly, note that the camera body, battery, and memory card may be hot.

No Memory Card Inserted

If no memory card is inserted, a “no memory card” indicator will appear in the shooting display and [–E–] will appear in both the control panel and the shooting display.
