40 is about an average temperature but that depends on a few things - Your ambient temp and what you are doing and are you using 3G etc etc

It's normal that the phone gets hot while it's in use or when you charge it. If the phone gets too hot, it will automatically shutdown to prevent overheating.

I test my z2 in 4k ,and it can only record 5.16mins then overheat ,the temperature of cpu is about 62Celsius,are this normal??or I get a faulty device ,as I live in tropical country.

This is normal because the video camera function consumes more power and memory. In such cases, you must wait a while until the camera is ready again to shoot video.

This is a poor design flaw. How on earth can a device with such functions fail after a short time of usage? It's as bad as the waterproof flap on my device popping opening all the time making it non-waterproof. All Sony want to do is make sales, z3 is a prime example. They created the z2, realised all these flaws and just decided to sell us a remodelled version the z3 6 months later. This will be my last Sony device, I was excited to get my z2 but now regret it in some cases.
