t4i firmware bug

[hvirla]

My Rebel T4i often freezes in live view mode and I have to remove the battery to unlock it.

Is it a firmware problem?

I did the software update for my T4i a month ago.  Received my 18-135 IS STM lens yesterday and tested it as follows:

5 minutes and 10 minutes of video with a Sandisk Ultra 16GB Class 10 memory card and repeated it with a 32GB card.  Had no issues.  Repeated the tests in the last hour today and no issues.  The 1.0.4 upgrade was easy to do just follow the instructions.  Only had the camera for 45 days and have used it alot all with no issues.  Still learning, but reading, learning and trying to stay ahead of the curve.

I wish it was as easy for me as a firmware upgrade, seeing as I have a T5i and not a T4i, there's no such thing.  However, I'm getting a replacement 18-135mm IS STM tomorrow and will know if it's the camera or lens at least...  Other than issues in Live View with the 18-135, the camera works great.

I got a replacement 18-135mm IS STM and the problem persisted, hence the camera seems defective, sigh.  Sent it back to the online store for a replacement and crossing fingers!!
