Does anyone have issues with a power supply drop from the XF Camera when working with a IQ1 series back?
Just received the camera and absolutely love it. But when I took it for walk to test some stuff it always turned off and I couldn't find out why. After a short call with the sales rep, he mentioned that the battery closing latch is pressing the battery against a feather to secure the contact with the electronics. But it looks like, when I take a photo, look at the screen and than let the camera "fall" in my hands into waist height, this will automatically have a big enough shake that the battery is loosing contact with camera, power drops, camera turns off. You could replicate this with shaking the camera (in a way you would normally never do). A small tape on the inside of the battery latch solved the problem, as the battery is than pressed a bit more in. With the IQ3 series that problem won't happen due the shared power management. Waiting for a reply of PhaseONE.
Anyone similar problems? Really annoying walking around with the cam and it turns of every now and than.
Btw you can adjust one button to trigger the flashes with the profoto sync. Didn't test it yet, but customized it already to the front button. (As someone mentioned it would be a nice feature)
The seismograph delay shutter mechanism is one of the best features. Didn't adjusted the hyper focal focus yet, but this would be another killer feature.
How is the battery life so far?
In general the XF is a proper upgrade. And although I received the new screen, PhaseONE didn't mount it proper and I received it with scratches. So I had to send it back. So love the cam, but didn't had the best start.
