with love, artie

question for those who have the camera: client is asking if anyone has experienced lock ups during burst? If yes did you send to CPS and did they fix it?

Hi Arash, nothing to date, but early days still for me as skiing took precedence :S3: .. although it will be going back to CPS in a couple of weeks with lenses, will let you know if anything develops. What props the question?

as mentioned above one of my clients is asking. he has a 1dx III with the mentioned issue

OK, will take a look, but like others, I rarely get notifications these days, so it’s hard to keep up with replies. See Jon A’s post in Mods.

Hi Arash,
I have experienced a new issue as well.
While out taking "bird in flight "shots, the camera suddenly stopped displaying the AF point.It would still fire but no autofocus point visible. I pressed on the AF point selection button and nothing happened . I was unable to bring up any AF selections. I had to turn the camera off and then on again. Once turned back on, the AF points were visible again. About 10 minutes later, I was in AI Servo high speed and the camera just froze mid-burst. I depressed the shutter button and nothing happened for 2 to 3 seconds and then the camera worked again. This happened 4 times that afternoon.

If you look on DPReview there is an article and video about many 1 DX3's having this issue.

This is exactly what happened to me. I had the camera out yesterday afternoon and no problem.
It looks like the "camera" is a bit buggy".:e3 I sent an incident report to Canon Canada on Friday and will let you know what they say,

Gail, was this at max FPS? Have you tried reducing the amount, did the same issue appear again? Have you reported this to CPS? The more feedback the better, no doubt a Firmware will be announced in the coming months.

Thanks Gail this matches his description. I will let him know.

looks like a power issue to me. It seems many if not all cameras have it

Yes, I have reported this to CPS. They emailed this am looking for the images that I took when the freeze-up happened? Not sure why. I am not even sure which images they were...Will have to go through them all and see where the freeze up occured.
