You should contact Canon. Users on this forum with consistent lockups have had their cameras serviced by replacing a board in the camera.
Thank you for reply
I rang Canon CPS and they told me to format my card in Apple disk utility (using level 2). I think that should fixed it. I only started getting lock ups after one of my raw images was corrupted. It makes sense.
So we aren’t supposed to format using the R5? What format using the disk utility. I had a few lockups in the first few days but none since. I have not tried it since the FW update.
Ok I think what the Apple disk utility does is the program does a better job in low level format to get rid of bad sectors than what the camera in R5 can do. After formatting in the computer, I then reformat the cards in R5 just to make sure everything is compatible. I will know when I go for another outing over the weekend.
My camera never had lockup’s until one day when one of the images became corrupted. Since that I kept having lockup’s with that card despite doing the low level format on that card using the R5 low level option.
Before you format from your computer, document the exact space available. Then do the format, then check the space available. If less, it found bad sectors and omitted them from the table.
Some formatting tools have a "repair" option... I would avoid that one and just have the questionable sectors hidden.

Thank you. That’s why CPS aust told me to select the more advanced level 2 in Apple’s Disk utility tool. I didn’t check the file size difference but I am sure it world have found the bad sectors. The next few days on photographing will see if it really works or fixed the problem
