High-Performance Video Modes, Camera Temperatures, and 
Battery Performance

When capturing video at 2.7K 4:3, it is normal for the cameras to become 
warm and use more power.

If a camera gets too hot, a message appears on the screen indicating 
that the cameras is shutting down. The camera stops recording, saves 
your video, and powers off. If this happens with a camera in Omni, let your 
camera sit and cool for 20 minutes before attempting to use it again. 

For extended recording time, capture shorter video clips or remove the 
batteries from all cameras and use an external power source with the 
power connector on the rig.
