Just updated my R3 to 1.2.0 and within 5 mins of just going through the menus ive got a completely locked up camera. In all my 30 years of using canon cameras ive never experienced this. Do they not test these firmware upgrades before releasing? Is it possible to go back to 1.1.1?

As you can see from the image even switching the camera off doesnt help. Unbelievable. Id strongly wait before upgrading to 1.2.0 until canon sort this out.

Mine seems to be working fine. Perhaps try a full reset and then configure it all again? A pain, but it’s probably a specific combination of your settings that’s causing it.

Did you follow the instructions to the letter? I didn’t completely (I didn’t set it to P mode).
