I had exactly the same problem a couple of days ago. Shooting macros in
blazing sun at midday (at about 35 C), the camera gave up after 15
minutes exactly in a way you describe it. No previous signs of battery
weakness (I test them regularly), and camera came back to normal at
home, with passing the battery test beeping as always.
