Out of interest, for those who’ve upgraded to f/w 1.5.2 - have you experienced a lock-up?

Well dang, I thought I was out of the woods with v1.5.2 (until now).  I had problems with previous software versions.

I’ve shot tens of thousands of frames with v1.5.2 using only electronic shutter with the R5 + RF 100-500 +/- RF 1.4x.  Not one issue.  (I normally shoot short bursts)

Yesterday I decided to use full mShutter with H (not H+) bursts, and experienced two freeze-ups in a one hour period.  Nothing else was changed.  The freezes cleared (rebooted) within about 30 seconds by half pressing the shutter intermittently (didn’t have to pull the battery at least).

Now THAT’S a 1:1 correlation.

Looks like it’s back to eShutter for me!
