|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board D2x camera over heating / Maximum Temperature Kyle Ryan, Photographer Mountain View | CA | USA | Posted: 11:31 AM on 07.07.10 ->> I was working in Huntsville and had a camera start acting up. The camera was doing time lapse of a construction site and it was about 100 degrees out. Batches of images started to become overexposed by about three stops while shooting in manual mode. The camera was very hot to the touch from direct sun so I pulled it and put it into the car with ac on to cool it off, after about half an hour it was working normally again. It seems that the sensor may have just been too hot. Anyone have something like this happen or used the camera in extreme heat have any issues?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Last month I was shooting an NHRA drag race event in 95 degree temps and after a long period of working in the direct sun, the camera body became very hot to the touch. Shooting in manual, I got several frames that were way over exposed. Since then, when not actually shooting, I try to keep the camera on the shadow side of my body.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

That was the most I've pushed the limits of heat and humidity on my D2x. Of course, it was all shade under the canopy. That might make a difference.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It was a fire training exercise where they parked me next to an at least 1800 degree fire for most of it and told me "if you get hot feel free to move." I called Nikon before that and asked what the max operating temp for the body was and the guy said, "officially, don't do that." Then told me that the rubber would start to fall off the camera before the internals got messed up.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
