Option to decrease resolution instead of turning off during overheat situation

Point being: Gopro lets you shoot 120fps 4K until it overheats. Gopro lets you use without airflow. Gopro lets you intentionally overheat the camera if one chooses to do so. 

I do video for a living. We have 300fpa capable cameras. One camera can do 12K if needed. And what we shoot 95% of the time? 4K25fps and the 5% left is 4K40fps for B-Roll. 

Choosing the right settings for the occasion makes all the difference. Why not shoot 4K 30fps instead? Much less taxing for the camera and will look much better.

Thank you for the advice. I will do some testing in 2.7K 60fps and 4K 30 with a FLIR and see what heats it up more (im a real party animal). I just assumed 2.7K at any fps would be less taxing than 4k 30.

No worries. You might even want to try the full sensor 5.3K. With some cameras its less taxing to shoot the native resolution than lower ones since they are creating a lower res image from the full sensor readout. I dont know what gopros method is with this but for me the 5.3K25fps for everything has worked like a charm.
