Notes: If you shoot video in mp4, you will be limited to 35min. If you shoot video in XAVC S, you'll be able to record for as long as your camera can (before battery death, overheat, or memory full). 4K is great to be able to record, but realize, you can actually record at 1080p for much longer. It doesn't overheat the camera as fast. The menu did feel sluggish a little bit. I was not able to format the card after a long recording session. I had to format the card in the computer. I will have to do more test.

Shooting in XAVC S there is not limit. One piece of advise so it could also work for all guys outhere. Follow the instructions and only user internet explorer in order to download and upload the app to your camera. Many people have issues using safari.

that1cameraguy Yes.. I live in Norway, so the overall dry and low temperature here will surely help. I was operating it for about 15 minutes in the store just now, with the screen out, and it only felt slightly lukewarm behind the sensor. But now when I'm looking at the footage I shot, I regret not setting the shutter angle to a lower value. I have no idea what it was set to, but it all looked like a motion blur party, he he. I also noted that the rolling shutter seems much much less noticable when shooting in HD, compared to 4K.
