Panasonic GH4 freezes / locks when taking a photo with shutter speed at 400 or higher

Hi, I just purchased a used Panasonic GH4 camera. It is my first camera, so I do not know much about cameras still, and I am not sure if the problem comes from the previous user, from the firmware, or from some other source. I have a problem that when I take a photo with shutter speed at 400 or higher, it will lock up, a freeze the screen all black with just the red recording dot shown blinking. This does not occur with the shutter speed below 400, nor does it not occur when taking a film even with the shutter speed above 400. The problem occurs with or without an SD card inside, with or without a lens on the camera. I have Body Firmware Ver. 2.5. Thank you for any help or suggestions.

ANSWER:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4
