No hot swap with Epic 3.3.4

[Leo Ticheli]

Pulling the AB battery kills my Epic with 3.3.4. Furthermore, if I boot up with the Side Handle battery, putting on the AB 140 kills the camera.

Not really that big a deal for me as I make it a practice to shut down before changing batteries, but I'm sure it could be a problem for some applications.

Good shooting and best regards,

Leo

I'm going to test and see if we are getting the same problem. If it's the case, that's a real bummer, I loved the hotswapping combo of the REDvolt in the side handle and the AB on the back. I wonder if it has the same problem with AC power.

Hot swapping should still work in 3.3.4, if you are experiencing problems please open a support ticket.
