R5 Freezing up After Firmware 1.5 Update...

[cohenfive]

I've heard this is an issue, and I experienced it yesterday while shooting some birds. My R5 locked up about 5 times in a row during one session. Each time I took the battery out and it froze repeatedly. Eventually it stopped, but I was not too pleased. Are others having this issue, is canon going to fix it, and is there a way to go back to version 1.4 as an interim solution?

Ugh, such a bummer to hear we are still having freezing issues with the new update! Great news about the improved tracking.

Still get lockups with 1.5.1. Multiple time with Eye AF using the AF-ON button photographing waterfowl

FWIW, I hadn't experienced the locking problem until yesterday. I shot a bunch of baseball over the two weeks after upgrading to 1.5.1 with no problems. But yesterday, my r6 hung almost constantly after getting a couple of hundred images in. Yesterday was the 1st time I'd shot with a single card in the camera. I eventually turned off the electronic shutter, but the game was about over so I can't say for sure if that solved it. I always shoot baseball with eye tracking on max framerate. I've upgraded to 1.5.2 now, but won't get to try it out until Thursday.
