Man you need to rent R3, R6 ii, R7 or even R10 if you didnt have enough money.

Here videos how it works in my camera. Its pretty much mimic those nikon tracking without any additional button to disengage or recenter the af point.

If you dont want to rent a new camera, you can try nimonus settings on your R5 and assign it into a button

Thanks for posting this and for taking the time. Most of what I just replied to Jonathan holds true for this video as well.

In your case the tracking has quite some difficulties to latch onto the foreground object in the later parts of the video. As already said: I know that tracking is present, I am just not convinced that it is still optimized to its full potential (Nimonous method doesn't change performance).

Thanks for sharing!
