EX-1Runs Warm. Normal?
I’ve noticed after shooting for around an hour or so that my EX-1 feels warm in the area of the body around the SXS slots. No problems associated with this, just curious to know if others are experiencing this as well.
Typical shoots with the EX-1 so far have not exceeded a couple of hours in duration. This weekend I have an all day event to document and will find out how that turns out temp-wise for a long duration shoot.
To exasperate the situation I will be shooting firefighters, putting out fires at a fire college, on a hot Alabama 90 degree day!Thanks.

It’s normal. The EX is even hollow in the middle to allow for heat dissipation.

Yes, this is normal. The SxS cards will run warm.

Were you serious? If you can’t cook an egg on it, it’s fine.

We’re in Arizona. Any temperature that has only two digits in it is sweater weather. If the heat coming from a camera does not produce second degree burns, you’re cool, so to speak.

Ahh yes. But in Alabama it’s a humid heat. Very humid!
Shot 5 hours of firefighters and flames in the low 90’s.
No over-heating problems.kj
