Sorry for the wall of text…

I carefully paged through my manual, and did several searches for things like “thermometer” - what I saw earlier today was a thermometer and a set of bars with the first one lit. All indications were that my camera was overheating?

I was shooting from our car today - a photo drive, as we have done before. The car was cool, but not so cold as to need extra clothing, and not hot. The camera spent time both in sun and shade. It never showed the 2nd bar. I was shooting still pictures, not movies (as the web article suggested). At one point I pulled the battery out and it was slightly warm, but not hot. The indicator would remain for a while, then might go away - only to return when taking a few more pictures.

Blowing the AC in the car on the camera did not make the icon go away.

I am not to sure what is going on. After returning home, I swapped out the battery for my other one and was not able to re-create the issue (even taking rapid pictures), I swapped the batteries back again and was still not able to re-create with the battery used on the drive.

One of the batteries was accidentally washed in the laundry, but they both seem to work, and take a charge, and run the camera equally well. I should have marked the washed one - now I am not sure which one it was. The washed battery had one of those plastic covers over the connectors. Anyway both batteries are acting perfectly for the moment.

What to do?
