Sony A9 with overheating test with new firmware
ThatCameraGuy tested the new 1.01 A9 firmware. And as suspected it doesn’t fix the overheating itself. But it delays the overheating indicator warning time so that it doesn’t appear 10 minutes before the actual shutdown. Note that most people will not keep the camera all time on a 90 Degree Fahrenheit (32 Degree Celsius) hot day under direct sunlight and always on. Moreover even if you do it you will not let the camera standing alone. But you will cover it somehow with your hands while operating the camera, and also make some shadow with your body. Also note that it seems like having the battery grip completely solves the problem!
Sony has still not re-published the new firmware on their support site.
