A lot of users worldwide complaining about the overheating issue of the recently announced Fuji X100 V Camera. Take a look at what Fuji X-100V users have to say about the overheating issue.
Just got a silver x100v and was surprised at how warm it was to touch after just a bit of time setting up menus and taking some test shots in AF-S mode. It wasn’t quite hot, but quite warm and definitely not entirely comfortable to use when touching your face.
I was a bit surprised coz’ my former X100F did not have such problem. I also shot 4K video on the new x100v , the overheat alert sign (yollow one) showed up approximately 5mins later. I could still complete the 10mins video shooting but it was hot.
I’ve tested the x100v again for 30 minutes and can’t believe how uncomfortably warm it’s getting, just taking still photos.
I’m sending mine back and will stick with my x100f. Unreal. I was really looking forward to this camera
It looks like Fuji upgraded the sensor resolution of the compact camera without improving the image processing power significantly that matches the camera processing requirements.
What Fuji Said About the Fuji X-100V Overheating issue
April 3, 2020
FUJIFILM Corporation
To our valued customers
Thank you very much for purchasing and using our products.
When the X100V is used in a continuous manner (such as with continuous video shooting) or when used in a high temperature environment or direct sun light, a user may feel the grip become noticeably hot, due to heat generation within the camera’s electric circuit board and battery. It is important to note that this heat will not generally affect the camera’s performance until the camera shuts off as described below. However, the emulating heat may cause skin irritation and may ultimately be uncomfortable for the user.
When the camera’s temperature increases in this manner, a yellow warning icon first appears on the LCD screen. If the temperature increases further the red warning icon will appear and shortly thereafter, the camera will turn off automatically.
In cases where the X100V shuts down automatically, we would recommend that you permit the camera to cool down before further use.
In situations where the use environment is particularly hot or where the user has blood circulation or sensitive skin issues, we would recommend use of a tripod or a gimbal for periods of continuous shooting. As noted above, the camera will shut off in the event of a significant temperature increase.
You can rest assured that Fujifilm is absolutely committed to quality and service excellence, with respect to the X100V, and with respect to all other FUJIFILM products.
