Canon RP stops working after a few shots. Was told to update firmware. Where can I get it?

In the past year, my camera goes dark after a few pictures.  The only way I've been able to get it going again, was to remove the battery and reinsert it.  Will work for a few pictures then goes dark again and I have to do the sequence of removing the battery again. I know it's not the battery, as I've replaced it with a freshly charged one.

I'll check out the Angelbird cards.  I used the sandisk card in the RP to see if the light stopped flickering, and it did, so, I am "relieved" that it's the card, but I will find out soon enough.  Thanks again.

You do not need UHS-II memory cards.  They are overkill for your EOS RP.

Okay, thanks!

I thing you are correct to suspect the Sony UHS-II memory card. Replace it with a UHS-I card.

I really think you're not understanding what UHS-II is.   UHS-II adds a second row of contacts to an SD card, which can be used to speed up communication.  But if you plug a UHS-II card into a device which doesn't have those contacts, then they are simply ignored, and the card will function as a UHS-I card.  I have used UHS-II cards in UHS-I devices many times with no issues.

In general, SD supports many communications modes -- way more than 2.  The card and the host device start in the most basic mode, and then negotiate with each other to see what is the fastest mode that they both support, then switch to that mode.  If the card has a faster mode that the device doesn't support, then it won't be used, but it won't cause any problems.

It is of course true that UHS-II is overkill for a UHS-I device, in the sense that you're spending more money than you need to.  But if you already have a UHS-II card, and you think buying a UHS-I card is going to solve some problems that you have, then I suspect that you are wasting your money.

I think you are overlooking the specifications of the EOS RP.  A UHS-II card is clearly overkill for this camera, which is only capable of 3-5 fps frame rates, if that fast.  When it comes to video, it is only capable of 4K 1080P at standard frame rates, which a UHS-I card can easily handle.

The problem is not the UHS-II card.  The card is most likely bad.  There is no need to spend the extra $$$ on another UHS-II card when a UHS-I card will easily suffice.

Yes, I already said that.

Must have been a typo in there somewhere, I guess.
