I love the shots you shared! Thanks for your helpful review.

I'm curious about what doesn't work for you regarding eyeAF. I am definitely not a wedding photographer but have done them from time to time pro bono when requested by those who otherwise wouldn't have a photographer at all. Starting with the R5, I found using eye AF helpful but always have used it with an initial focus point such that I am selecting the person to focus on from the beginning and then framing the way I want the scene while continuing the half-press to maintain the focus on the subject in question. Both the R5 and R3 seem to do a great job of sticking to the original subject when used this way. Most of my experience with this is with events that are not weddings but it seemed to work with weddings as well.

Any further comment about the issue?

Maybe the OP was talking about eye-controlled AF?
