Good suggestions Joe, nice stuff, unfortunately I'm unable to get my hands on my camera at the moment/today so I couldn't really give a detailed answer as good as yours. I suggested a full reset on my first post and a few thoughts on the problems discribed.

Yours and the other guys posts should hopefully help the OP.

Thanks. I spent way too much time on it, but I hate to see someone so unhappy with a camera when some of the issues are so easy to fix.

You are right about the reset. I would have given you credit for that, but didn't see it until I went back and looked through the thread more carefully. It's easy for someone new to the camera to go through the menus and change settings that look like they might be what you want, but aren't.

Bang on about changing settings Joe and it's so easy to impact on the R3s performance if you aren't use to it. I came from using a R and a R6 and the R3 is a totally different beast.

People assume the R3 AF settings and system are similar to the R5 and R6 and you can just carry the same settings to the R3 but I wish it was easy. 🙄
