Camera locks up in Zone focus?

Anyone else have issues with you X-T1 becoming unresponsive while using zone focus?

 

I was shooting some horse events this weekend (AF-C, 3x3 zone center, MS, FD off, either single shot or Ch) and on several occasions the camera quit trying to focus or take an image (I have focus priority set so not taking the shot wasn't surprising since it wasn't focussing). I was also unable to manually focus. Usually turning the camera off then back on would get it going again but once I had to physically remove the battery.

Original battery? Nothing unusual on the grip side, like a heat that can be felt or anything like that?

I know my camera was behaving weirdly once but upon close inspecting I noticed that the drive dial was stuck between single shot and bracketing and I was able to reproduce it afterward.

 

Not saying it's the same thing but might be something worth checking next time it happens.

Good to know - I don't think that was the issue here but I will keep it in mind for future inconsistencies. I have occasionally bumped both the drive dial and metering dials out of position. In fact I seem to recall getting the drive dial partway between settings and having the camera not take images as well.
