Battery Performance
When capturing video at 2.7K 4:3, it is normal for the cameras to become
warm and use more power.
If a camera gets too hot, a message appears on the screen indicating
that the cameras is shutting down. The camera stops recording, saves
your video, and powers off. If this happens with a camera in Omni, let your
camera sit and cool for 20 minutes before attempting to use it again.
For extended recording time, capture shorter video clips or remove the
batteries from all cameras and use an external power source with the
power connector on the rig.
