Is it the very basic AF for Canon mirrorless cameras?

You can get focusing on anything you want with AF method :-)+track?

The focused subject will be locked by showing a blue rectangle on it maybe following the priority sequence as: eyes, face, head, body, subjects.

Subject becomes the natural AF target if no people/animal/vehicle detected.

If you simply only want to focus on subjects other than people/animal/vehicle, you may

  1. Set AF method to :-)+tracking
  2. Set the Initial servo AF pt other than auto
  3. Set the subject to detect: none
  4. Eye detection: disable 

You will find you can lock on the subject easily
