Turn off AFF in the menu and use single autofocus, which is what you have been repeatedly advised to do.

It's also generally a good idea to set "Quick AF" to "OFF". Unlike what someone might think, the opposite of "Quick AF" is not "Slow AF", but "user-triggered AF". Setting Quick AF to OFF disables constant focusing when shutter button / back focus button are not pressed.

In earlier models this setting was called "Pre-focus", which in my option is much much better name.
