Well, my Nikon Z30 died again. Sad day for me. I use the z30 in my teleprompter for podcasts and video calls. It doesn’t like being left on continuously. The last time it cost about $250 to get the main board replaced. I don’t think I’ll get it fixed again. Using a different camera now and will remember to unplug it.
So lesson is don’t leave your mirrorless camera on continuously.
