We would like to offer our sincere apologies to users who have been inconvenienced by the phenomenon described below.

Solution:
If this phenomenon occurs, please try following the steps below.
- Turn the camera’s power on.
- Set the Date/Time/Time Zone.
- Turn the camera’s power off.
- Leave the camera with the power off for at least 90 minutes.
*The Date/Time/Time Zone need to be set in order for the camera’s temperature management to be performed normally.
Once you have performed the steps above, any subsequent display of the temperature warning will be according to normal temperature management. Should "Overheated!
