Hy guys,
Bought my R3 in January this year.
Configured my way, as a Sports Photographer, and all went smooth until this week. In two soccer games, my R3 just freezed up, and i mean, is was "dead" for taking photos.
The screen was still active, but blurred with no focus system activated , the shutter was dead too, as all the buttons. This took like 30 secs to 1min and re-established itself. Had this like 4 times in row, until i took out the battery, and turned it on.
I was in panic, as i was shooting a league match, and next week i will have Champions and Europa League matches.
Anyone with similar problems? I read a thread stating the problem was the GPS, but i have it disabled.
Doesn't seem to be the card, but i noticed that the freezes came when i was editing to my agency. Seemed like the camera went to sleep and took a long time to became available again
Any help would be appreciated as Canon wants to pick up the camera but i don´t know how much time, without the camera, is involved.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
JR

Greetings,
Think for a moment about any changes you might have made. Hardware wise, lens, cards?
What you are describing does sound like the GPS issue reported by others.
What firmware version are you running?
