I believe I experienced lock-ups from as early as 1.3. But since upgrading to 1.5.2 I haven't experienced any lock ups.

While it may have been the firmware that fixed it, I think correcting my folder settings was at least partly responsible for solving the issue. When I started using the focus bracketing feature in the early days of having the R5, I tried creating a specific folder for bracketed shots on my card. Long story short, my camera was writing data to both cards but with mismatching folder names. Changing my SD card folder setting so that it matched the CFExpress card folder name is what I think resolved my card lockup issues.

So for anyone else experiencing lock ups, it may be worth checking your folder settings if you happened to have a custom folder name.
