Have the camera about a week now, other than some initial focus issue, could be me, has trouble locking on, but once there it's great, still learning, love the camera !
But twice today weather in the low 30's camera locked up while I was shooting, removed and reinstalled battery and worked fine, I even changed the CF card and it did it the second time. Using Nikon 600 mm fl and the 1.4lll.
I was shooting a favorite Hawk and never looked for a code...wanted to get back to shooting. I have the Canon R5 same issue at times.... taking off the battery and reinstalling would reset it, so I did that with the Z9. Not bashing the R5 great camera, but hope this is minor, really like the Z9 .
Ok,so a quick update as yet another guy had a similar problem and removing the battery and putting it back helped and i did not have this error today.
I never removed the battery after buying the camera. In India, the Z9 doesn't come bundled with the MH-33 external battery charger in box. They gave a free EH-7p USB C charger and i was only using that without having had a need to even remove the battery out. Weird but works for now.
I think these are just complex computers now a days and they crash every so often. There are threads about A1 locking up, R5 locking up, R3 locking up and now Z9 locking up.
For the record I never had a lockup with mine. I did swap batteries to my 2nd one a couple times and I used a 512GB Sandisk CFExpress card.
No lock up for me so far since day 1. However, I don't have Sony or Angelbird card though.
Currently I use Lexar, Prograde and Silicon Power Cinema EX card. I might have put in Sony XQD card a few times but I am not sure. So far so good...
