Canon may have finally fixed a lot of the freezing that has been occurring when shooting with the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6. I'm not sure that “rare instances” is suitable, as it appeared to be a widespread problem.

Let us know in the forums if you run into any freezes after updating to the latest firmware.

Canon also plans to release new firmware in late March to further optimize AF operations.
