Shooting in extreme heat!

[DVX100Shooter]

I was out in the hot sun (108 degrees) yesterday shooting an event. My LV screen only allowed me 30 seconds to shoot before it would shut off. I am guessing this was heat related since I never experienced anything like that before. I know I get up to 5 minutes per recording clip but this was given me 30 seconds to use the live view screen!

Heat is something we deal with all the time in Arizona. Get a "real" space blanket and protect your camera from the sun. You can cut these mylar space blankets into small pieces.

I keep hearing about those space blankets. Where do I find them at?

Thanks!

At camping stores or hunting stores.

Same thing in Arizona but then you have problems with condensation.
