Canon EOS R5 so-called overheat timer defeated by a single screw in battery door
On Friday, I received a message from the lead developer at Magic Lantern. An interesting theory was being put forward by one of their open source contributors, which he believed could defeat the so-called overheat timer on the Canon EOS R5.
Initially I was skeptical as to whether it would work! Mainly because the initial real-world tests on my own EOS R5 did not reset the timer.
But then, a break-through.
Magic Lantern just became Magic Screw!

Update:
I recorded 25:00 of video then battery pull with no issue on my RP. All ~4GB MP4 segments were fine, with naturally the last one missing
Don't let the recording reach the 29:59 legacy limit - if you do the camera will save the NVRAM settings when it automatically ends the recording
The Ridgecrop formatter tool link I posted for Windows only worked once for me. After that the camera wouldn't accept any cards formatted with it. I then tried the formatter built into OS
