hpx 500 micon error NIGHTMARE
Was on a shoot this weekend and got a micon error on my camera as a card went from recording to slot 3 over to slot 4. A message to turn off the camera appeared, and I had to REMOVE THE BATTERY to get the thing to turn off. CRAZY.
When I powered it back up, my footage had a “grey clip of death” on it, which
I assume is non-recoverable. I continued shooting, and it happened again when the slot went from 3 to 4. I quit using slot 4, and all was fine.I did some tests this weekend, and I definitely have some issues with slot 4. I’ll call Panny today and see what the problem is. This is NOT what I wanted to experience with a camera that I’ve had for a whopping three weeks.
If anyone out there has had this problem, please post, as I’m afraid it’s gonna happen to more of us.
For what it’s worth, I was shooting 1080i 60 NDF. Camera was in “film” mode.
Any help appreciated.

Man, that sucks. We have had our 500’s for a couple of months now without issue.
Please report back when you find out what happened.

Just got off phone w/ Panny tech, and it looks like some of the hpx 500 cameras have bad connectors to one or possibly multiple slots. This could go bad at any time. OUCH…Turnaround is about a week on them, so that isn’t too bad, and after that, the camera should be just fine.
Something to consider.

bleah… that’s not good. Downright scary in fact… I’ll keep it in mind.
Thanks for the heads-up!
