The camera temperature is elevated
The camera may shut down if its internal temperature rises after extended use. Remove the battery
and wait until the internal temperature has dropped enough for the camera to be used again. The
camera may also become warm to the touch during use, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

compose the shot, and shoot.
