Thanks for sharing! I am wondering what causes overheating, no cooling fans or related to GPU performance? My A6700 has overheating issues within 15-20min. 4K 60P video/timelapse recording. Under 1080P setting, it can record more than 30 minutes without overheating automatic power off.
I’m sure the cooling fan keeps It going. I know they added that cooling board or passive cooling thing to the newer cameras but I would assume that the fan is the prior radon it kept going.
I really love the video that comes out the A6700 compared to my GH6, but most likely gonna be returning my A6700 and keeping my GH6 due to the overheating. Thinking I may get the FX30 if I decide to replace the GH6. Everyone seems to love the colors out of the GH6 but I've never been a fan at least for outdoor recording.
@@MalcolmWalker thanks Malcolm! I really appreciate this video. Nothing worse than shooting 2 intense yoga classes to then see they never got recorded due to heat. I already ordered the fx30 based on your video and my smarter-than-me Videographer friends are already giving me more street Cred :)
When they say base iso does this mean using 800 iso works well in sunlight? I mean I know I can up my arpeture to darken but I don’t wanna lose my 1.4 look. In that case should I deviate from the dual base iso at that point?
It means to shoot log footage you have to be at 800 iso for base iso. It can go lower or higher from that but what you would want is an ND filter to help darken the image without changing your depth of field look.
That was something I had not considered, but my FX30 was set to HIGH on the temp setting during that test. From my understanding however, even in high, you still get temp warning on the screen at the same time however. But I never got a high temp warning. My fan was also set to AUTO. Per the FX30 user manual, Sony says at 104 deg F, it should only record for 60 min in 4K 4:2:0 8 bit. I am pretty sure it smoked right past that.
You know what the problem here is? It’s not the heat that gets you. It’s the humidity! Lol
Stahhp bahaha
I’m dying….😅

I'm returning my A6700 bc it recorded for 3 MINUTES!!! Before overheating. What a disaster. Looks like I'm buying the FX30.
@@KateAmberYoga well you won’t be disappointed with the high heat performance.

Thanks! Having to replace a Sony ZV E-10 due to overheating in the Florida shade.

@@MalcolmWalker Roger that kinda figured that would be the case just cracked this baby open definitely different than the A6500 I used many years ago
Hey! Thank you very much for this video! Do you think the FX30 would manage to get to an hour straight of shooting at 4K 50p?
@@barisaydin3769 yeah it has never overheated on me. Just make sure you have the fan on
@@MalcolmWalker Thank you very much for the response! 👍🏼
I enjoyed watching this

Nice! FX30 is great!
Thank you, it did a fantastic job and did better then I thought it would.
does fx30 has cooling fan?
Yes it does, it’s the same exact chassis as the FX3.
Hey, did you experience any overheating with the fx30s auto temp set to standard? Would be interesting to know/see!
Thanks in advance! :-)
