Strange problem from my HPX170 - loss of Vertical Hold?

I know, I know, vertical hold should be a thing of the past - cathode ray tubes and all that. I was recording v.o. and didn't need the video (good thing!) but for about twenty minutes of footage this is all I got - so, if I'd needed the video I would have been outta luck. Take a look at this jpeg and tell me what happened! I'll also post a clip in a while.

I was recording 720/24PN, and the problem was there in one frame and not in the next. I haven't had the courage to take it out on a shoot, yet...:shocked:

What say anyone?

Ditto to that..and do it ASAP with fresh battery and on a different P2 card..
also, was it possible that you had a strange feed coming in from your audio line ? possibly causing this issue thru the cam.... worth a check.... good to know issues so they can be avoided in the future...

PS, is your firmware in camera and on cards current worth a check also.

I'm going to take it out tomorrow... a simple shoot, and will have a backup camera, just in case...
 
good that you have a backup but I would shoot the footage just anywhere and test it, dont test it on a shoot.
