I've been reading the articles posted by Andrew about the R5 overheating just because I'm interested as anyone about what's going. After reading the last few articles, I've trying wrap my head around some conflicting information. In articles which describes the teardown that was done on the R5 it says that Canon didn't put in thermal pads over the processor and in fact placed a PCB over it, indicating that they were intentionally trapping heat over the processor. In articles where EXIF data is used to track the temperature of the the sensor, the camera shows no signs of overheating. The contradiction that I'm trying to wrap my head around is given the data given by EXIF, are the thermal pads even needed since based on the data the Camera doesn't seem to overheat. The only way I see of resolving this contradiction is either the EXIF temperature isn't measuring the processor temperature or Canon had found some way of keeping their processor cool using poor external thermal dissipation. I'd appreciate hearing anyone's thoughts or explanations regarding this. Am I misinterpreting something?
