I had a lockup this weekend.

E-M1 II & 300 F/4, latest firmware, 32GB Sandisk 300Mbps UHS II card.

While trying to playback the camera went dark as though it powered off. I had to pull both batteries to get it to boot back up.

This one is almost certainly the card.  I had a similar problem with the 64MB Sandisk 300MB/s.  Lockup, corrupted file, strange flashing when trying payback, and requiring battery removal from both camera and grip.  That was the in the middle of December.  I switched to a 64GB Toshiba 260MB/s card and have not had a lockup since.
