over heating on K-X video mode

Hi,
I come across the issue,
under 35C cambodian climate. the camera keep showing the over heated warning.
and if i cool it down and restarted, it last only 2-3min. then come again and again, end up i have to drop the shooting.

Very unlucky, i tested in 13C Hong Kong, never have problem, even turn on almost an hour.

When I bought mine I thought for a moment to choose the white one with heat and sunlight in the back of my mind. I however wanted the black one for its more professional look. Seems the white one is the more professional one.

Is it flickering no matter if you're inside or out?

If it's just inside, it's the framerate that isn't in sync with the Hz of the electricity. One more reason to have full manual control..

flicker in day light

it;s in day light
i notice once i have too dark images, it will flicker at dark area, also some color shift/
when i test it in Hong Kong , it;s like 13C so never see any flicker nor over heat.

too bad, it;s totally non usable in hot climate
