If its temperature rises beyond a certain point, the camera will first display a message and then, if the temperature rise continues, automatically end shooting and power down. Choose the temperature at which the camera turns off automatically.

Option	Description
STANDARD	The camera turns off automatically when its temperature reaches the STANDARD value.
HIGH	Shooting can continue at temperatures higher than the STANDARD value, extending the time available to record movies and the like. ecause remaining in contact with the camera at these high temperatures could result in low-temperature burns, this option should only be used after mounting the camera on a tripod or taking other steps to avoid prolonged contact with the camera.
