Hi,
I bought a SG9665GC V2 and polariser filter from @niko a few years ago, it's behaved well until recently. I've noticed it is starting in one of three states:
1) Normally, with everything functioning correctly.
2) The camera looks to be working, but the screen timeout never activates.
3) The camera powers up, the screen stays on, but the record LED stays off, the power and audio LEDs are on. The record timer stays at 00:00
If either 2 or 3 happens (about 50% of the time), then holding the power button down until the camera resets usually fixes the issue.
I've tried formatting the card in camera.
Is this something that can be fixed or is it a sign of a failing camera? I'm running ver: SG20180323.V4 software.
I've invested a fair amount of money into this camera, so i'd like to hope I can keep it alive for a little longer!
Many thanks
Lee
