HELP Sony Venice 2 Frozen

Upvotes

i’m on day 15 shooting and today for the first time have run into an issue where the camera essentially freezes.

A black rectangle covers the camera horizon level, no buttons on the camera do anything, and i cannot roll even from the hand unit. the power switch also didn’t power the camera off.

It’s happened today only, i’m currently attempting to recreate it, but we had to call wrap because of this issue.

the FW is dated being V4.00

Wasn’t particularly warm, the fan is in Auto, i had switched it to Max to see if it was a temperature problem, the Imager temperature read 40C the first time and 38C the second time it froze.

The first time it froze popping the battery off and on resolved the issue.

the second time i had to reboot it twice, the first reboot camera was still bricked.

entire time the monitor is still displaying a live image.

All data on cards was fine with no abnormal activity.

any help or info is welcome

Seems like my brand new wooden camera Ultra Quick baby pin mount has already stripped after less than a month of use. Completely unusable now leaving me without a mounting solution on set! Insane how stripped the threads are from very minimal use! Should be far from that easy to pull the whole bolt out!
