Overheating while on menu/idle/photography (not recording/movies)

Hi,

I just received a xt-4 as a gift and unfortunately the person who gifted does not have the original receipt.. So I wasn't sure if warranty covers anything.

***Problem***

I noticed that as I was customizing the new camera, setting up options, presets, shortcuts and etc. the xt4 was getting warm/mildly hot to the touch.
I wasn't recording, I in-fact even tried turning the back display off into simple menu, so that the liveview isn't on when I'm not reviewing photos.

Camera hasn't shutdown or warn me saying its too hot but its definitely too warm considering I'm not even taking photos and was just on menus.
Seems like it takes about 10 minutes in the menu for it to start getting warm.

When I took it outside (85 degrees) for some photos, it starts to get warm around 15-20 minutes of walking around, taking photos.
I haven't shot more than 30 minutes in a row yet, but I assume it wont get any cooler?

I come from DSLRs and this is my first mirrorless, so I'm confused if this is a normal thing? or if there's something wrong with my xt4?
Could it be some options I have turned on? I originally suspected that it was bluetooth but I turned it off, and even tried turning IBIS off.
Boost mode is also not on, and the LCD/EVF brightness is on default settings.

Has this happened to any of your xt4s? And if so, are there any solutions.. I'm mortified since I don't have the original receipt anymore..

It happens to my x-t2 also; don't be much afraid. It is getting warm whether you do take fotos or not.

It is a computer, no more DSLR.

Make sure having one or two spare batteries with you any time.

Buy a set of one or two batteries together with a battery loading device.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
