Do people still experience Blackout on their Canon R5/R6 with the latest firmware update

[SenseiofPhot0s]

Hey guys,

Since day 1 of owning my Canon r5/r6 cameras, I realized people have had blackout issues with their shooting. Personally, I have not had an issue where I got blackout, but still curious to see if any of you guys still have this occurring issue.

Have a great day

It's never worried me. I use fast refresh for BIF and fast stuff and low power for static subjects.

No!

I have two R5 bodies, one is fine, no issues. The other body has had the problem since day one.

Both are on 1.52

Any differences in settings configuration?

No, same settings which are generally copied over between the two bodies.

Interesting. That suggests it's a hardware issue.

Possibly. I've been reluctant to send it in, but it's not getting better with firmware updates.

Last friday I shot around 1700 frames with my gripped R5 (fw 1.5.2) & RF 50mm 1.2L...
I had 1 hiccup in the middle of the birthday party: no blackout (that happened rarely in the past), but the camera froze once: it became unresponsive and the EVF was frozen. Turning it off and on fixed that, no need to remove the battery.
