Can you go please go into more details about the issues you had with FW 1.2 on the R5? I only just installed 1.2 last week... and now I am thinking I should wait again before installing 1.3
Sure thing!
It was an issue that compounded over the course of a few days.
If I remember correctly I had a video shoot on the Wednesday, and the camera began to freeze up intermittently.
Nothing of major detriment as it was resolved by turning the camera off and on again.
I was shooting again that Saturday, this is when it became a big issue. After recording (at best) 5 minutes of footage the camera would freeze, and stay frozen on the LCD until I removed the battery (off/on switch became useless to fix the issue). It would become responsive for a few seconds after this (generous) before returning to the same issue.
The following Sunday I was shooting photos for a venue. After taking several photos the issue returned and the camera became unusable, now accompanied by a repetitive clicking sound (almost like the shutter opening and closing repeatedly in burst mode) until I removed the battery.
As the camera was not functioning for much longer than a few seconds at a time I was unable to unload the firmware and roll back to 1.1.
I've had a look online for other instances of these issues but haven't found much which makes me think it was an isolated issue.
I'm really just more curious why the issue got progressively worse over the course of a few days rather than just happening all at once.
