Recording Video and Photos
Using the Fan
The camera uses a cooling fan to lower the camera’s internal temperature. In CAMERA mode, you can change
the fan’s operation mode and speed. In MEDIA mode, the fan runs at all times but you can select its speed.
Setting the Fan’s Operation in CAMERA Mode
1 Select > [
B
System Setup] > [Fan Mode] > Desired option.
If you selected [Always On]
2 Select > [
B
System Setup] > [Fan Speed (Always)] > Desired fan speed.
If you selected [Automatic]
2 Select > [
B
System Setup] > [Fan Speed (STBY)] > Desired fan speed in record standby mode.
3 Select > [
B
System Setup] > [Fan Speed (REC)] > Desired fan speed while recording.
• The [Maximum] option offers the maximum cooling effect but is available only for [Fan Speed (STBY)], as it is
noisier.
Options for [Fan Mode]
[Automatic]: The fan runs while the camera is not recording and is automatically turned off while the camera
is recording. However, if the internal temperature of the camera is too high (
b
appears in red),
the fan will be activated automatically (in that case,
`
will appear next to the
b
icon). When
the camera’s temperature has decreased sufficiently, the fan will be turned off. Use this setting
when you do not want the camera to pick up the fan’s operating sound.
[Always On]: The fan runs at all times.
Setting the Fan Speed in MEDIA Mode
1 Select > [
B
System Setup] > [Fan Speed].
2 Select the desired option.
IMPORTANT
• While the fan is running, the exhaust vent will emit warm air.
• Be careful not to obstruct in any way the fan’s air vents (

NOTES NOTES
• Depending on the ambient temperature and other shooting conditions, the fan may not turn off even if you set
its operating mode to [Automatic].
