...I've been shooting with the Quantum 100 patch for several months now and this weekend is the first time I've experienced a recording-issue with my GH2. It wasn't a show-stopper, but I was surprised when my camera dropped out of recording all by itself. I've been shooting with the SanDisk 64GB SDXC UHS-I ( 95MB/sec ) cards since early March and these cards have worked flawlessly up until this weekend.
It's seems like there were 3 different factors that were contributing to this minor recording problem:
- This weekend was the first time I've shot a fair bit of footage with a Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 pancake lens, and I think there is a lot of camera correction taking place when shooting with the lens. Most of the errors occurred when I was shooting with this lens.
- This was the first time I've shot with a SmallHD DP6 monitor. ( the first AD let me use his monitor for the shoot, as mine is currently bust ) What's also a little odd is that the camera errors seemed consistent when the DP6 monitor was running from SmallHD battery power, but all of the camera errors went away when I ran the DP6 with an AC adapter. This might have been a co-incidence. I know that the monitor has nothing to do with the GH2 power supply, but I'm wondering if the HDMI signal can influence the stability of the camera.
- I had more camera errors pop-up when the GH2 Panasonic battery was almost out of juice. ( I have to remember to change them before they die completely )
