My X-T30 has became very hot after 50 minutes 4K shooting, also - it showed the overheat status in red lettters, so it auto stoped the last recording.

I didn't take any breaks between shoots, the same battery and the sma card.

My question is - is that normal? Did it caused any damage to camera? How could I make shootings last longer? Probably - make breaks? Lower the MBPS rate? Also - my backup battery is from my X-T10 - is ot OK to use it?

Would external HDMI recorder also be a solution?

it's normal for any camera to overheat, especially while recording video...especially 4k, which needs a lot of processing power

you didn't damage anything as the camera shut itself down before that. let it cool for a bit and continue

 

i guess you weren't following the internet meltdown over the "absolute failure" which was the canon r5 overheating when recording 8k...since then every camera is "tested" for how long it records before overheating 🙄

Anyway, The 4K shoots with my X-T30 are great :)

You are actually getting pretty decent times. As @andrei89 mentions, testing recording times until shutdown is now a regular issue. Here is one test:

Your time is holding up well against the X-T4. 😊

You might be tempted to slap a frozen gel pack on the bottom or wrap one around the body to keep it cool, but be careful because it will bring a lot of condensation and the water drops are not a good thing.

Some third party manufacturers are building cooling cases based on using thermoelectric cooling (for go-pro stuff or smart phones, etc.), they may have something for dslr/mirrorless bodies as well or give you an idea that helps you build a diy case.

Fujifilm’s X-H2s is going to come with an optional fan, which will not help you, but does show they are working to make things better.

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      So I ended up getting and X-H2 over the X-T5 because of a good deal that came up.  Needing to buy a card, I needed to figure out,  what is the real impact of a card's speed for photos?   In particular, I'm going to test how shooting at 15 FPS will differ between: Angelbird - AV PRO CFexpress B SE - 512 GB and Angelbird AV PRO CFexpress SX - 160 GB. How many shots can I get off before buffer fills, and how long does it take for the buffer to clear?    MOP: X-H2 Factory rest, card formated, no lens (body cap on), performance boost on, manual exposure, mechanical SS @ 1/8000, IS off, Shoting RAW Compressed Lossless with only one card in. Held shutter release till buffer filled, and used stop watch to see how long for buffer to clear. Subtracted two frames from total taken as that's how long it takes me to release the trigger once the buffer is full. Repeat 2x for sanity check.   ***TEST RESULTS***   ~~~64GB Lexar Pro SD 150MB/s~~~ 75 shots to fill buffer, 36 Seconds to clear it   ~~~Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB~~~ 251 shots to fill buffer, 5 Seconds to clear it   .~~~Angelbird AV Pro SE 512GB~~~ 232 shots to fill buffer, 4 Seconds to clear it     ***Conculsion***   If burst shooting an X-H2 at 15 FPS is your thing, buy the Anglebird 512GB SE for the same price as the 160GB SX.   Below is a shot on X-T2 w/ the Fuji 70-300. I manged to fluke it off with a dead battery by turning the camera off and on again, and squeezing three more shots out (this was the last shot).   Ta for now!

      Have you tried a factory reset? Maybe you changed unintentionally a setting?

      X-s10 with Fujinon 16mm 1.4 autofocus issue

      By Etienne B · Posted

      Hello. I have a x-s10 that I use multiple lenses with. Yesterday I noticed that with the Fujinon 16mm lens I'm having issues auto-focusing. It works on video but not for still images. When I half press the button it focuses a bit then when I release the button it snaps back to the previous focus point. Even though it manages to focus the image is still blurry. Any ideas please. I already did a a major google search and nobody has mentioned this issue. Thanks, Etienne
