    Can confirm this update does not fix the issue as I just lost my wedding video because of overheating. Had it on a tripod running for max 10-15 min and damn. Friend had to restart camera a few times but won’t ever be getting that video back unfortunately once in a lifetime feel pretty ripped off having just brought this camera and it failed the worst possible time
  • @leighhaynes
    Although the official instructions advise formatting the SD card I’ve found it works fine just copying the firmware file to the root of the card.
  • @TechVerified2K
    Please label the video with version of firmware, made it seem like there was new firmware out.
  • @animalpaquin
    Merci beaucoup, justement ce matin j'ai eu ce problème de surchauffe pour la première fois
  • @LUISXAVIER33
    I've had the Sony a6700 for a week, I didn't leave it filming long enough until it overheated... But it heats up well... Even with this 1.03 update... I hope Sony improves this, I've already sent an email... And I also ordered the ulanzi fan
  • @MrPachGaming
    I noticed that my a6700 only overheats when the touchscreen is closed. I normally shoot 4K 60 and I haven’t had a problem with overheating if the touchscreen is swung out.
  • Look forward to your test. I've had no issues with it. However, I've also had zero overheating issues - probably because I don't attempt to record long form in 4K 120p! There is nothing in Sony's 1.02 or 1.03 release notes about improvements to overheating issues.... but who knows. Probably more important that you update your lens Sigma 55mm firmware to Ver.04 (released 2023.11.16) which actually does mention a fix specifically for the A6700 ;)

    Thank you for sharing, really enjoying your channels content. Please keep up the great work.
  • @marcuscarter
    Great tutorial, thanks so much, got mine a couple of days ago, still waiting for the lens, I'm a bit reluctant to update as I saw another tutorial of a photographer that wanted to change back to the previous version, can't remember exactly why, but he said they hadn't resolved the overheating problem with this update yet. Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes. By the way, what are those tags you having hanging from the sides of your camera?
  • @bristolreiki
    Had the camera one day. Did the update to 1.03. Took a handful of photos and was shocked by the heat build up. Thinking of returning
  • @squidskunk
    you have so many good tutorials on the a6700 why aren't they in a playlist..?
  • @haowulin
    Mine is still overheating after the 1.03 firmware update.😢
  • I have a fan on my camera as well. However I noticed when it hit 40C the overheat sign did not come up. I have seen improvements however I have only tested once outside.
  • @johnlin9880
    Would my settings like custom buttons setup and everything get cleared after a firmware update?
  • @PoolIsCool_75
    if done the update now and have to say.. At first i tried the update with my fastest v90 II sd card. the update cant find the file.. Then i used an older V30 SD card and ..O wonder, it worked. Second.. i tested 4k60.. After 25 min it stopped. This is a little bit more than before. with 50fps and an ulanzi cooler it looks ok
