Hello,

I was this days playing a lot with the M6II and while some of my photos were perfectly focused with the 22mm, some of them were not so good.

I am not sure what is the best mode to set the autofocus and how to do it properly.

Do you know any guide/video/tutorial about how to correctly setup the focus and how to properly take photos with this camera? If not, could you give me some tips?

Spot AF with Servo delivers for everything. Nearly a 100% keeper rate!

Right, as long as you're not shooting Amtrak trains moving towards you at 70 mph!

How do you do it with a M6II ?

Zone focus with the zone in the middle of the frame, where I hold the nose of the lead Amtrak engine.  It's 80% accurate, but I have to admit I'm a little wanting of the R7/R3's superior AF in this regard (but not enough to drop $10k on an upgrade of my entire system of EF-M native bodies and lenses to get it!)
