Does anyone have a problem with the camera overheating if you record for a long period of time?

I have not had any problem with over heating. However, my battery swelled and I notified JVC twice but they never responding back to my email.

I have let the camera run for more than an hour with no overheating but I was using the time lapse function with 1 frame per second.

I have not had that problem, but I don't record for long periods of time (the videos get too boring for continuous recordings). I used it mostly outside and on my motorcycle. One of my trips was in Texas in July, 100+ everyday and no issues. I would only record for short periods of time, 5 to 10 minutes here and there when the scenery or roads were picture/video worthy. It takes great video and pictures, I'm very happy with the camera. It's even been through rain with no issues.

The camera will get hot from the screen, just like your flat screen tv. I see no problem with it.,

What malfunctions did you have? My camera has been operating flawlessly day after day.

Alex,Let me just say that I have recorded very long sessions while turning it on and off repeatedly and never really though, "oh this battery life stinks!" It's simply amazing. Also, I purchsed the 64GB card for it. Basically, I have TONS of movies i have recorded since purchasing it over 2 years ago and STILL haven't pulled them off the card. Good luck.... Case

I've been shooting with it for 8 months and haven't had any problems with the camera over heating during 12-16 hour shoots

I never had this problem but I gave up on this camera within little over 30 days as this DBPower camera is piece of crap. After that I am still looking for better one. Sorry Can't help you on this problem.

usually the first few shots are okay, but after that, the camera has a long processing time between shots. there's nothing that can be done about it. it's a memory issue.

Hi Jazz1, there are no issues with regards to battery life or overheating for this Sony Alpha a6000. In addition, video recording time for all Sony Cameras (point and shoot type or Alpha) will always be the same (29 min). However, depending on the memory card or file format like MP4 12M, recording will be approximately 20 minutes due to file size (limited by 2 GB file size). Hope this helps. -Ely

I have mine set to continuous recording and get about 20-25 days. I'm running three cameras.

The mic does not cause any significant impact to battery and definitely does not contribute to overheating.The A6000's encoding chip sits right behind the tilt screen. If the tilt screen is not pulled out to allow the surface of the back of the camera where the chip is direct access to air, the camera will eventually go into cooling shutdown before the 29.5 minute limit is reached. When you pull the screen out, you can go the full 29.5 minutes without a problem, even with the XAVCS codec which uses a higher bitrate and writes more than double the data to the memory card.

I have a j1 and a j3 and I LOVE these cameras EXCEPT they BOTH heat up and shut down after taking 10 to 20 minutes of video. VERY aggravating when you are trying to video 2 - 3 hours worth of important footage. Last night I had to leave my off and let it cool down and missed 40 minutes worth of important footage. I'm quite upset about it. I don't want or feel I should need to buy a separate video camera.

Mine went down to 5 degrees last winter without a problem. So far this has been the best camera for me to date. Batteries have a long life as well.

I've left mine in full sun plenty of times. I live in Utah and it gets hot here. I had it installed during the last leg of the summer. It worked fine through the heat. But, once it got below 40 degrees, the camera started to malfunction. A lot worse now since it is averaging below freezing for the high here. It won't record when you turn it on. It shows the splash screen (startup image) but won't go into the video recording mode. I have to turn it off and on a lot to get it to record. Usually I have to wait for my window defroster to heat it up a little to get it to work now.

Check your settings, or batteries. I use it all of the time and have it recording anywhere from 4 hours to 12 hours. I do not have that problem. I have three of these recorders and when I need another one I will buy this brand.

I have not had this camera long enough to know how temperature resistant this camera is to warmer temperature. I live in the US, and right now it is winter. I can say in temperatures that are just below freezing sometimes the camera thinks it loses it's GPS signal. Shortly after that it read or write to the SD card. It then shouts at you because it loses it's sound volume settings saying the GPS signal is gone and it has SD card errors. I usually just wait a few minutes for the car to warm up before plugging it into power. Other than that I do not have any temperature problems. Or any other problems for that matter. Just below freezing temperatures. But once you get used to the camera it's not really a problem.

from my brief use of this camera i have not noticed the heating of the side of the camera. now, i'm assuming that you're talking about the hand held side, right? if it's the screen side, well, i haven't notice anything unusal on that side too. hope this helps-gy.

we operate in quite warm conditions - up to 108 degrees during the summer months. 8 of the 10 cameras we run are doing ok, although two of the units have now developed a rather fogged image. I'm not sure if it is heat related, but that would be my guess. Under any conditions the mini SD cards are very hot when you remove them from the camera. This has not appeared to have an effect yet on the cards however.
