SL2 All functions stopped.

Hi, I shoot a lot of commercials.
I bought sl2 this time.
An incident occurred during the first commercial shoot using sl2.
The picture came in well on the capturer one, and there was no problem taking it.
Then, at some point, the camera went completely out of order.
Touch screens are not available and power buttons are not available.
If a stop occurs, the battery must be forcibly removed.
And when we film again, things go well, and at some point, af stutters.
It stops again.
This phenomenon continued to occur on the set.

Usage environment - macbook pro, capturer one, ether cable (usb C), sd card not used

I'll connect the link. I would appreciate it if you could check and tell me the cause.

Laika only says it's an SD card problem even if there's no problem at all.
There's no problem, so there's nothing I can do for you.
It's so frustrating.

SL2 All functions stopped.

I've had the same problem. to avoid it just format the sd card with a specific program. On Mac I use SD card formatter. however, since I updated to the latest firmware, I haven't had any crashes.

나는 같은 문제가 있었다. 그것을 피하려면 특정 프로그램으로 sd 카드를 포맷하십시오. Mac에서는 SD 카드 포맷터를 사용합니다. 그러나 최신 펌웨어로 업데이트한 이후로 충돌이 발생하지 않았습니다.

Hi, I solved the problem.

I've tried a lot to find out why the problem occurs.

The conclusion is the synchronizer.

The problem was the prophoto synchronizer.
There is no problem using the propoto synchronizer, but if you use it for a long time, the camera stops.
If you use another brand synchronizer, you can use it without any problems.

I found the problem, but I don't feel good.
Other brands' cameras do not find the camera stopping just because they use a synchronizer for other makers.
I think it would be good if Leica recognizes these problems and solves them. I think.

So you are blaming Leica for a product made by another company? That is the most snowflake reaction to a problem I've heard this week.

The synchroniser connects to the camera via an electric/electronic interface, and the camera designer has no control over what the user may connect to that interface. So that interface needs to be electrically/electronically robust enough to cope with widely-differing voltages and impedances. In the OP's case, it was obviously not. So his criticism strikes this former electronics design engineer as being a valid one.
