Canon Patent Applications: Thermal Management and Control

[Canon Rumors]

In this series of patent applications, Canon is looking at getting a better handle on the thermal state of the camera to be able to more effectively determine what the rise of temperature over time will be. This allows the camera to then be able to predict more accurately how much recording time, or operational

But didn't some forum member state that Canon's competitor cameras never overheat?
A useless patent?

No, it is the owners of Canon’s competitors camera’s that frequently overheat on internet fora .

There was a reason why a certain competitor had a burn warning in their instruction manual

technically they didn't overheat, but they doubled as a bacon skillet.

Does anyone have proper knowledge on what the ‘low temperature burns’ EU legislation is about?
I know laptop designers are nowadays very careful to avoid making the outside hotter than 42C, but I don’t know the thresholds and if there are actual sanctions.

I do remember reading about it with the R5 - and the temperature is surprisingly low. but it depends on how much you are holding onto it, and how tightly, not just temperature.

in the case of laptops I would imagine the weight of the laptop, and heat surface on your legs. since you have far more of a grip on a camera, I would imagine the temperature threshold has to be lower than that.

in terms of the actual EU stuff, I can't recall to be honest.
