  • When using the EOS R5

  • Red [Overheating restriction] display

    • A red [Overheating restriction] icon may be displayed if repeated movie recording or extended use of Live View display increases the camera's internal temperature. Turn off the camera or take other measures when a red [Overheating restriction] icon is displayed, and wait until the camera cools down.
    • The camera will turn off automatically if you continue recording while a red [Overheating restriction] icon is displayed. The camera may also turn off automatically if you continue using Live View display while a red [Overheating restriction] icon is displayed.
    • The red [Overheating restriction] icon may be displayed while [Shooting and Recording: Auto pwr off temp.] is set to [Standard].

  • White [White overheating restriction] display

    • A white [White overheating restriction] icon is displayed in hot environments or when factors such recording movies or displaying images on the screen over extended periods increase the camera's internal temperature. If this condition continues, a red [Temperature warning red] icon will be displayed. Note that the time until a red [Temperature warning red] appears after the white [White overheating restriction] icon varies depending on shooting conditions.
    • The white [White overheating restriction] icon may be displayed while [Shooting and Recording: Auto pwr off temp.] to [High].

  • Red [Temperature warning red] display

    • The red [Temperature warning red] icon indicates that movie recording will soon be terminated automatically. Note that the time until movie recording stops automatically when the red [Temperature warning red] icon is displayed varies depending on shooting conditions.
