Main problem of FW1.5.1 is AF jumping, not the lock up.

You guys just off topic of 1.5.2 that fixed.

Hi Nimonus,

There have been several threads on this forum in which lock-ups under various iterations of f/w have been plaguing some people. This is something which can be readily voted on.

I haven’t had a lock-up problem, but I am hoping those that have may find this resolved.

In terms of AF performance, I haven’t had any problems either, my R5 has been very quick to acquire focus - and very sticky during tracking, both in general and with eye AF. This is something where changes are less easy to assess as multiple settings can influence things along with what you shoot and where you shoot it. I do know some are frustrated by AF.

This poll only addresses the lock-up issues, maybe another could look at AF performance?

Thank you to everyone who’s voted so far, the results are looking encouraging.

1. It doesn't not mention the fix of freezing issue by Canon with FW1.5.2, it was mentioned from the upgrading of FW1.5.1

As you may have read on this forum some people have been experiencing lock-ups with every iteration of f/w, including 1.5.1, but so far there's been no reports of this happening with 1.5.2. This is the sole point of this poll - to try to assess whether a fix has been made. If this is the case I will be very happy for those who were suffering with this annoying issue.

(I'm not convinced Canon mention each and every bug fix in their f/w release notes).

2. We need not to reject the product problem that from manufacturer. In this case, issue of AF. You don’t have the problems that Canon said about their camera, good luck! You are exceptional.

There may be a case for a separate poll - which anyone is welcome to start.

If no-one does, I may start one once I've has a chance to fully assess the AF with f/w 1.5.2 (this process was not assisted by the fact that when we reached the woods earlier today I opened my rucksack to find an EF 100-400 LII lens and adapter, but no R5... 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️).

However, I've not had an AF problem with any of the f/w versions I've used and I think it's difficult to assess if this is due to my set-up, techniques, expectation levels, or luck. I need to do more shooting before I can fully assess if there have any changes (for me) with 1.5.2.
