  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

overheating protection

Depending on firmware: I know DSMC will blow fans on full blast at 70-72°C and shut down at 75°C. I have not had this happen to me in a production, although I did have this happen to me when a PA left their free t shirt sitting on top of the idling camera....

With the latest generation, as long as you stay on Adaptive Preview Quiet Record you should be all good.
 
I tend to stay on manual and smash it on 100% when my camera is in the water housing.
The other day I was shooting on a VERY hot day and where we were shooting, I was not actually able to keep the housing underwater, cooling it down. The T/E was red but we had to keep shooting and as expected the image wasnt the cleanest. I was half expecting the camera to shut down but it never did. I did not pay attention to the actual temp but I would say it was quite hot. When I opened the housing it made a hiss, like opening a can of coke!
 
Yeah if you're in a housing then running the fans at max is obviously your best bet---but the camera will still shut down if it reaches the cutoff point. It will never let the core temp get unsafe before it decides to shut down automatically.
