Over the past 2 days I have been doing some media day pictures for a local high school. My R5M2 has randomly reset the time/date settings 2 times while powering up. Anyone else having this issue? It is on the latest firmware.
 
I’m only seeing this on my M6II, but that’s because the built-in battery that keeps the time has used up its juice over the years.

Your builtin battery might have a bit of wiggle
room or bad contact. Or you are running into a software issue…

No idea, I have the latest firmware and am using the battery grip with 2 batteries. It was really strange as it did it two times in less than an hour. I cannot seem to reproduce the issue on demand.
