Re: Poll: R5/ R6 Lock-ups with f/w 1.5.2…

I have had lockups on R5 before the 1.5.2.  This past week, I was doing an event shoot, 4 days straight, 2 hours each day.  Shot about 2,500 pics per day.  I was using EF 70-200 IS II and using back button focus and 1st curtain shutter.  I was shooting short burst of 3-5 shots or sometimes about 6-15 shots bursts.  I experienced a lock-up on the 3rd day and twice on the last day.  All 3 times, there was no warning.  The EVF and LCD screen were working but none of the buttons were working.  Turning on and off didn't fixed the problem, so I had to take out the battery and reinsert battery to make it work.  Lost a few shots but not too critical.  Can be frustrating.
