Hi guys,

I have just tried that again but in the room temperature condition. And I could not reproduce the problem again with the same setting! I swear to God It was happening at least 20 times during the speed skating shooting. The problem went to normal until I switch the camera setting to the square box AF or single AF.

I have to leave it for now until it happens again!

Thank you everyone for the response. I would like to know if that happens to anyone in the future please!

Thanks again!

I haven’t tried this, but I’ve read that you can power the camera using a USB-C cable attached to an external battery pack, which you can keep in a pocket. If you do this, use the plastic strain relief connector that comes with the camera, to prevent damage to the USB-C connector on the camera. But I think keeping the battery warm will prevent the temperature related problems you’re having. Alternately, keep an extra battery in your pocket and insert right before you shoot, and swap in a warm battery every 15 or 20 minutes.
