Canon R3 screen lockup when playing back 120fps

I've encountered the screen freezing up and blacking out when playing back certain clips shot in 120fps on the canon R3. Tried Sony 512gb cf express and Prograde 1TB Gold Series, both encountered the same issue. Also noticed line skipping/dropping in certain frames when shooting 120fps on the Prograde 1TB. 

Has anyone else encountered these issues or know a fix?

Hi Kylere,

I'm sorry to hear the screen on your EOS R3 is freezing when you playback 120fps videos. The camera should be able to playback high frame rate videos without freezing. Since the issue is happening with multiple memory cards that likely isn't the cause. 

For a freezing issue there are a few more things to check. Sometimes if the battery is malfunctioning or if there is a short in the lens it can cause freezing issues. Try swapping in a different battery and attaching a different lens to see if the same thing happens. If the issue continues at that point we would recommend sending the camera in for repair.
