Heatgate

Heatgate is a term used to describe the event that caused Danny's downfall with Sony.

On May 27th, 2017 Danny posted a video about overheating issues with the A9 which was shortly picked up by Petapixel

Although Danny was trying to be helpful, this caused negative comments and backlash against the possibility of a "hyped" issue. Oddly enough, Petapixel caused this increased awareness by including a very lively photo of the A9 with it's sensor on fire, surrounded by flames.

Ultimately Sony called Danny to discuss potential solutions to the problem and admitted the overheating issue.

This event also began the hashtag #Petapixel
