Hi,

What kind of SD card are you using? SD or SDHC?
I used TOSHUBA SDHC 4G class 6 (has higher speed) now. The performance seemed the fastest and I did not witness any "halt" or "blank" up to now.
I tried a very cheap SD card (4G SDHC) before. awful!
It's a Patriot 4 GB SDHC at the moment. I have benchmarked it in my computer and it's about 16 MB/s . Not the fastest, but not slow.
I tried other cards also before and saw the problem as well. I have some 2 GB Patriot SD, which are actually faster - I measured 22 MB/s . My old 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II SD is only 9 MB/s.
These are read times.
I don't have any problem when I write to the Patriot cards. I can take pictures very quickly. I actually get the max fps rate of the camera when using JPEGs (2.8 fps). So I don't think it's a card performance problem.
Even if it was, the screen should not turn black, it should just take a little bit longer.
When the problem occurs, sometimes I have just pressed the play button, and immediately turn the e-dial to zoom, and then it turns black right away ...
