Ok, so after using my Pocket 2 for a view days, it randomly crashes/freezes!
The problem always starts with freezing high/low-temperature marker positions and when entering a submenue, the camera stops reacting to touchscreen inputs at all.
I can still hear it making the clicking noise when recalibrating.
To turn it off i have to long-hold the power button.
A really bad experience after a short usage time for such an expensive device.... disappointed about the firmware quality.
Hello.
I also must confirm this behaviour. Also freezes, the camera works, but you can't do anything with it. It freezes high/low-temperature marker positions and can't go into any menu.
I searched for this issue and found this forum. And it looks like I registered here a long time ago.
I also notice something. When the camera is frozen, it is also impossible to charge the battery! You can plug in a USB-C plug, but nothing happens. LE Diode is off. Nor red, nor green.
Firmware is upgraded, to the latest version, 5.5.29.
So, I have tried to reset the camera. The
Gear wheel icon on the right part of the screen frame, bellow photo album, then
Device Settings, then
Device Initialization, then
Restore, pop up menu asks
Initialize, touch
OK.
After initialization, I played for a half hour and never was able to reproduce that freezing any more & I took more than 100 photos.
Just once, when I press the shutter button during the calibration process, the camera's High/Low marker freezes for ten seconds. After that, the popup menu went, "capture unsuccessful" and the camera starts to work again normally.
I tried a few times more and I can easily reproduce that 10-second freeze, if I, immediately after booting of the camera start to press the shutter like crazy. It will block capturing for 5-6 seconds and after the "Capture unsuccessful" sentence, it continues to work normally. Also, the camera gave you a pop-up with a "please wait" sentence, so you should wait for initialisation and calibration to finish before you start to capture.
Please try the "Initialize" procedure. It will not remove or erase any photo! I have tried.
Thanks for your posts and experience.
I think this small camera is of incredible value, especially its resolution and 25FPS! For this money, Flir has shamefully 7-9 FPS and low resolution.
