GH4 Locking-up / freezing during playback?

[Harry Pallenberg]

I had the camera lockup 2 or 3 times when shooting back with firmware 1.0 on an unapproved card. Since v1.1 and Transcend U3 SDXC 64GB card I've had zero problems shooting hours of footage... till today.

I was shooting timelapse in the cinema mode for only 48 frames (1 every 5 seconds) and it locked up at the end. Pulled the battery shot some other stuff and now when I try and go to playback mode it wants to open the clip before the 1st still of the one that locked up and it locks up if I try and play it or even if I try to go back into shooting mode.

I just wiped the card. swapped the battery and will try again later today. Butthis is the 1st time I've heard about the camera lockingup in playback mode.

I could imagine an expected structure of a file in the card is corrupted. Make sure to format before shooting. Did you try moving files of the card onto a computer? Also, Panasonic has some software to recover and analyze cards that you should consider.
