I got a 'sort of' freeze up a couple of months ago, but I am sure it was my 
fault. At the
end of a recording instead of stopping the recording I pressed the power off 
switch. What
this did was stop the recording and I could play it back ok and do any other 
menu
operation, but it would not switch off. I had to pull the battery lead off, no 
harm was
done. Never done this again, but something to watch out for.
