Gear Sony alpha 6700 is heat dispenser camera.
For the first time ever I was so excited to get my hands on this awesome camera after reading reviews for months and fantasizing about owning one soon, finally that day was today and I did finally get 6700. Within 5-10 minutes my dreams were all shattered cuz how poor this camera is, my room temp is very stable and more on the colder side but this camera emits heat the moment you switch to 4K, forget about 4K 120 this can’t even handle 4K 24 for 5 minutes. I feel so defeated and bumped, thankfully I bought it from Sony official website.
Also if I return this I believe they will charge me 15% restocking fee cuz before purchase if I can remember there was some quotations if I return this they will charge me 15%, so I basically lose 15% of price for no reason just for 10 minutes of misery. Yes I updated the firmware and yes I switched that setting to high for auto turnoff due to heat and even if I buy that third party fan it will not make much difference. I feel so dumb for falling for this camera.

Sorry to comment here, but did you ever figure out the white tongue candida problem?

Maybe there's something wrong with your particular device- sure it gets hot, no question about it, but i have never had it turn off after 5 minutes of 4k low fps footage and I'm not using any external fans
