[Storkraft]

Hi just got the Z3+,  and so far happy wiht it.   
but the camera keeps getting too hot.  and shots down. 

i have also tryed to record some and then it says camera needs to cool down first ?

and well a working camera is kinda why i got a smartphone.. and games...  but that also gets it hot...

If you are recording on 4K, that's normal.

From reports I've read and an official statement - Sony is aware of it and an update should fix this and other issues to do with heat

I have the same problem, i can only use the camera for a couple of sec, then it shots down, sometimes even the complete phone needs to cool down. im not useing 4k, but whats the point having it if the phone cant handle it.
Im thinking of returning the phone, this is not good.

indeed.  i wonder how it got trhought QC. and testing.  i have read it seems to be the CPU that is a big problem.
Should not have used that CPU i guess.  or use some heatsinks or something. who knows.
might have stabilized the back also so it wouldent vibrate so mush when making sounds.... hehe.

Not sure if you really needed a new one.

I'll just add myself to this thread. Had my Z3+ a little under a month now and the only problem I'm having is the camera over heating issue. It's ridiculous that it has such a good camera which is basically unusable! Thanks to this problem I've now missed most of my daughters sports day due to not being able to record! I'm not even using 4K.

Can someone official please comment on this, I'm starting to think I should have got the iPhone Plus! But I have nothing but Sony tech and none of that has let me down!
