Apple is aware of issues causing the new iPhone 15 models to get too hot and will issue a software fix to address it, the company tells Forbes. The problem seems to be a mix of some third-party apps and an iOS bug.
A number of reports of the new iPhone 15 models overheating have emerged according to several publications that are either citing anecdotes online or have conducted independent testing.
Canon may have known cameras like its R5 have a tendency to overheat, and a new patent design shows that the company has created a unique external heat sink design to help keep them cool.
GoPro has announced a firmware update for the Hero 10 Black that it says enables longer video recording times and extends the battery life. Additionally, the company has announced a more rugged battery for more extreme use cases.
GoPro recently announced the new Hero 10 Black camera that boasts better photo resolution and up to 5.3K video. But that increased resolution means more heat, and GoPro admits that without sufficient airflow, it can overheat.
Kolari Vision -- a company that makes both filters and modifications for cameras -- has announced what it claims is the first commercially available after-market mod for the Canon EOS R5 that it claims will nearly double 8K recording time and cuts its overheating recovery time by a factor of three.
Sony has announced its new flagship camera, the Alpha 1, which is capable of 8K video capture. If you're curious what that looks like, Sony has uploaded a video to allow for close inspection.
The Canon R5's overheating time limit has been the subject of much discussion and controversy. Regardless of how or why the overheating happens, Matthew Perks over at DIY Perks has come up with an unusual mod that actually works to fix it: he watercooled his camera.
Jordan Drake and Richard Butler at DPReview recently put the latest Canon EOS R6 firmware update to the test, and what they found is extremely promising. The update more or less solves the overheating issues in "regular" shooting scenarios, and marks a "huge improvement" in overall overheating performance.
After making a fairly straightforward thermal modification to his new Canon EOS R5, maker/tinkerer Yifan Gu was able to get the camera to record unlimited 8K without having to resort to various timer resetting "hacks." All he had to do was swap out the thermal pads and add a couple more.
Roger Cicala and the team at Lensrentals recently decided to do a proper heat emission test on the Canon EOS R5. After all the debates in the comments, amateur teardowns published to Weibo, and a whole lot of speculation, LR wanted to answer a basic question well: how does heat get out of this camera... or does it at all?
Roger Cicala and the crew at Lensrentals finally got the chance to do a proper teardown of the Canon EOS R5, and what they found is an exceptionally well-sealed camera that's packed full of the latest tech. That's both a huge pro and, if you're thinking in terms of heat dissipation, a potential con.
Over at Kolari Vision, we love tearing into the newest camera gears to learn how they work and if they can be modded for infrared photography, full spectrum photography, or other things. We’ve been really excited about the R5/R6 release, and had plans to add some cooling mods and overhaul it into a proper video camera.
Most regular consumers haven't even received their Canon EOS R5 pre-order yet, but the company has already released a major firmware update for the camera. And while Canon doesn't actually SAY it in the documentation, this update does improve both the base overheating and the recovery times.
After a DPReview forum user suggested that the controversial overheating and recovery time limits on the new Canon EOS R5 may not be based on temperature at all, several people have tried various "hacks" that seem to prove him right. Based on these tests there is an artificial timer built into the camera's firmware, which can be reset.
Canon's had a rough go of it the past few weeks, but there are a couple of bright spots on the horizon. Reliable reports indicate that Canon is preparing to release two important things: new firmware for the EOS R5, and the much-anticipated RF 70-200mm f/4 lens.
A user in China has taken it upon him/herself to tear down the Canon EOS R5 in order to try and "fix" the overheating issues, and they've posted their results online. What they found has raised some questions about Canon's thermal design, and possible firmware limits.
Over the past few weeks, a ton of reviewers have been comparing the new Canon EOS R5 against the new Sony a7S III, but for stills shooters this is the wrong comparison. That's why photographer Matt Granger decided to compare the 45MP R5 against its most obvious high-res stills competitor: the 61MP Sony a7R IV.
The plot thickens... in a pair of videos released this week, YouTuber and Twitch streamer Wayne from No Life Digital shows how simply removing the memory cards from the Canon EOS R5 basically "fixes" the camera's overhearing problems when shooting to an external recorder.
When Canon released the EOS R5 and EOS R6, they made it clear right away that both cameras were thermally limited when shooting 8K (R5) or oversampled 4K (both) video. But what does this mean for real world use? DPReview has now tested both cameras, and their conclusion is unfortunate for Canon fans who hoped that overheating concerns were made up or overblown.
Multiple outlets with inside information are reporting that Canon is holding back and/or delaying shipments of the new EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras as a result of the overheating issues that early reviews have been reporting. This could be a sign that a recall is in the works.
During the a7S III announcement, Sony made much of the heat dissipation technology that allegedly allows the camera to record 4K/60p video internally for over one hour. The implication was clear: "our camera doesn't overheat." But at least a couple of reviewers have had a different experience...
Yesterday, Sony finally revealed the long-awaited and much-anticipated Sony a7S III. So far, the initial reviews are extremely positive, with only a few complaints between them. But don't take our word for it! We've put together a round-up that covers some of the best hands-on previews that we've seen so far.
The wait is over: after many months of rumors, speculation, and leaks, Sony has officially unveiled the Sony a7S III. The video-focused full-frame camera still uses a 12MP sensor, but it can capture 4K at up to 120p, features a thicker body design with hybrid card slots, and debuts an all-new menu system.
Canon's new R5 mirrorless camera is reportedly prone to overheating during video recording, and Canon says it went with passive rather than active internal cooling to keep the camera small and light. If bulk is no issue, though, Tilta is coming to the rescue with a fancy new cooling module.
Canon sent out a media alert to press this morning addressing the overheating concerns that have come up regarding the new EOS R5 full-frame mirrorless camera. The statement explains why Canon didn't include a fan, when the camera will overheat, and what you can do to avoid these issues.
Ever since Canon declared that the newly-announced EOS R5 would be able able to shoot 8K RAW video with NO crop, people have been waiting to hear the "catch." Would record time be super limited, or would the camera simply overheat very quickly? The answer, it seems, is "both."
Over the weekend, Mirrorless Rumors got their hands on a leaked photo and some exciting information about the 8K and 4K video modes in the upcoming Canon EOS R5. The headline news: there is no crop in 8K or 4K/120p, and the camera doesn't seem to be limited by overheating issues.
Fujifilm has released an interesting update for the fixed-lens X100V. After users complained that the new camera was unexpectedly shutting off due to overheating issues, the company has added an "Auto Power Off Temp" option in the menu that actually lets you set the temperature level at which your camera will overheat and turn off.
Sony's mirrorless cameras have been known to have overheating issues, prompting Sony to release firmware fixes and photographers to come up with novel solutions such as mounted sunshades. Now one guy has created an open-source design for a Sony camera body cooler.
