Today, I fired up my GH4 and went to snap a photo and the camera made a pretty loud POP sound and I instantly smelled that "magic smoke" (burning plastic/electronics) smell. Pretty sure it was the flash firing while closed because when I turned it off it said "Please close the flash" (or something similar). I finally got it to pop up the flash and the flash fired as you'd expect and when I closed it it didn't fire again (and no message to shut it when powering off).
I haven't been able to reproduce this, but its definitely disconcerting. Considering exchanging it just to be on the safe side. Thoughts? I found one other mention on the web of this issue, but it doesn't seem widespread.
