Hello all. Just got an overheating icon using my R6 to take stills.

I was using High Speed drive mode but nothing more than 15-20 shots at a time.

it was only 85°F. Camera never shut off. Just the red ICON flashing at me.

Any idea why this would happen and how to prevent it?

thanks

Hi.

Is this the symbol you are seeing, otherwise Can you take an image of the screen that displays the icon, please?

Also, can you advise what version of firmware your camera is set to?

Thank you! 🙂

cheers, TREVOR

If the camera never shut-off, then that is a potential problem as far as overheating is concerned.

Why would it over heat without taking any video?
