You have to assign DOF preview to a custom button. The shutter button is not an option for this, so you will not be able to replicate the behavior that you're accustomed to as far as I know. See pages 137 and 555 of the manual for more information.

Is this how all mirrorless cameras work? I was under the impression that the other brands showed DOF preview as part of the EVF? Thanks in advance!

The Canon EOS R focuses with the aperture wide open; this is partially the reason why the EOS R does so well focusing in low light.

Most other mirrorless systems operate fully stopped down when focusing.
