I am having problems using the microdrive with the 850Z- the camera seems to lock up on several occasions and I loose my date/time info- have to turn the camera off and reset the time/date- i have used the 8 mb compactflash card that came with the camera multiple times without seeing anything like this- anyone with any ideas?
It may not neccesarily be the microdrive. I had the same thing happen twice while using a new Sandisk 15Mb CF card. The only batteries I've used are the Epson ones that came with camera, but the manual says that the time may need to be reset sometimes after changing the batteries. This happened to me NOT after changing them though. let me know if you figure something out. If it happens again to me, I'm going to talk to support.
While my epson batteries were charging, I used a set of alkalines, and something similar to that happened to me (had to re-set time a bunch). When I pulled the batteries out, they were warm enough that the little built in test strip (a thermal lcd) was 'lit up'. It could be a battery load problem.
