Is it normal for this camera to get hot? I took 26 shots in an air-conditioned room and even the SD card got hot! Worried it's defective.

I had mine with me for a week in vegas doing all sorts of stuff and never over heated

Hi there; If you keep the screen on continuously it will get slightly warm (but not hot) If your camera gets hot I suspect your battery will also be lasting a very short time. Best get a Fuji agent to check it out.CheersSimo (from middle earth)

I haven't had that experience. I think you should get it checked out. Good luck.

Hello! I have had my camera for 8 months and it has never gotten hot. It sounds as though there is a defect.

My own operates fine particularly on sunny days. The flash is decent too with clear shots of close subjects. You may have gotten a defective camera.

Our camera is still working beautifully; I have not heard whether others have had issues. Good luck!

I used this feature this very morning. I was using the highest heat setting ... And it is super hot ... When I pressed the cool shot button, the temperature eased up, bit was not really cool.

Not sure what is the problem you are having. I didn't have any problem with mine. It's great camera.

I just tested mine and it turns on without the memory card. Didn't give me a warning that I was taking imaginary pictures either. Yours may be defective and need to be returned.

Hello, I had no problem. I didn't even format it. I just put it in and it worked. Are you sure it's the right card for your camera. Maybe you should return it and try a new one. It may be defective, or call the manufacturer customer service.

Sony has updated the software to 1.1 . I have NO overheating issues. I have used it on few shoot with 3000 pix each day and haven't gotten it once to overheat

I am considering purchasing this camera. All the reviews have been helpful. I have noticed no-one has commented on the outside temperature. The below 0 and the -25 below I think would be a problem even if mounted under an eve or overhang. If any one has any experience with this fact I would appreciate their input. Also any comments on a window mount. Thank you in advance for your input.

My SD card never had a problem. Check if you are using a card of higher capacity that may not be compatible. I think I am using 32 GB or 64 GB. Both should be fine. But try using 32 if 64 does not work. My only problem is battery. If the camera is not connected to 12V, it goes off in 1 or 2 minutes. Otherwise it is really nice. One more problem is that it makes large files.

Would not go so far as to say it is normal, only that it has been experienced before :) and at least in my case has not apparently affected operation of the camera. However, for all I know this could have something to do with the fact that this camera has trouble staying in focus taking video sometimes. I'll never know - it's out of warranty now and there are still more pros than cons versus the alternatives available at the time so I'd have kept it anyway. :)

This is not normal. I've had no problems or complaints with this incredible camera. Return it. But get another one.

I've taken a couple thousand pictures with mine since December 07. I think the problem is the image size/resolution setting. If you take every photo like you might want a huge enlargement from it, the process of recording to the card is what takes a long time. I think it's going to be slow, but I'd play around with smaller resolution etc. to find a bearable compromise.@S.K., yes it seems worst if you're using flash and stale batts.

I had that problem once -- but it happened when my batteries were almost dead and the camera shut off on its own, and then began to overheat. I took out the batteries and haven't had that problem again.

Yes, and it is brand new. after 10-20 mins of shooting video the camera was very warm and all of the sudden a notice popped up on the screen saying the internal temp of the camera was too high and it would turn off. And it did, twice! I haev only had it for two days and it was a bt warm from just shooting a few sunset pics last night.

from my brief use of this camera i have not noticed the heating of the side of the camera. now, i'm assuming that you're talking about the hand held side, right? if it's the screen side, well, i haven't notice anything unusal on that side too. hope this helps-gy.

Odd. I doubt it's a defective unit. Try manual mode to see if that works. Also. check that you haven't added some underexposure flash compensation on the camera or the flash.
