|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Sony a9 Showed Overheating Warning After 20 Minutes Stanley Leary, Photographer, Photo Editor Roswell | GA | | Posted: 4:12 PM on 05.30.17 ->> The Sony a9 is supposed to be a game changer in the world of sports photography, but now a new potential issue is threatening to disrupt those ambitions: photographers are reporting that the camera’s overheating indicator is turning on after relatively short periods of use in ordinary conditions. https://petapixel.com/2017/05/30/sony-a9-showed-overheating-warning-20-minu...+PetaPixel+%28PetaPixel%29  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Perfect for the Winter Olympics.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

I can tell you I did see the overheating indicator during this weekend. I discovered that shooting anything in the slower of the two SDXC card slots caused the indicator to appear. This weekend the average temperature on the field was between 85F and 95F. I covered a complete Soccer game with the indicator light on and had no issue with performance. I suspect it is a bug in the firmware that needs to be addressed.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Aside from the whole "overheating indicator". That would seem to me to be a performance issue.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Only Sony users are experiencing it. (Stolen joke from top comment on the video below.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHidVzzHVag  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (1) | Huh?

Should be out in a day or two.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I have shot extensively with five different bodies to date and made thousands of exposures on each and have never seen the warning.  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?
