In the lights of the lockup / freeze events that some people experience with their Canon EOS R5 cameras, I would like to call on any members who own and shoot on a regular basis with their R5s for some feedback.

Please share if you experienced any freeze or lockups with the camera that required you to power-cycle in order to get it back running.

Any additional information as the firmware version and recording media type would be highly appreciated.

If your issue was resolved please also share your experience and how the issue was fixed.
Best,

I am a "Never", as far as lockups are concerned, but I have popped the battery out and back in because lens IS seemed to be less solid than usual for that lens, and on those few occasions a clearly saw an improvement in stability when the camera re-powered. I think I have seen the same with previous DSLRs, though, and it could be a lens issue.

I changed my vote today, because I had my first lockup about a week ago, where the EVF actually froze.  Popped the battery door and all was well.
