Rudy, the R5 is an excellent camera, even if not perfect.

I’d like to see better tracking of random objects but in most cases the focus/recompose without servo tracking of the fixed object does the job and is certainly faster than manipulation of a joy stick

And when it comes to people/eyes, the servo focus/recompose from center focus location is as good or better than any other.

I use one bb for servo face and another bb for single spot without servo.

Hello Moderator, can you please delete this post. Thanks very much,

R2D2, I didn't see your answer to my post on the previous so I wrote this post here thanking Joe for his reassuring words. Thanks to you as well.

The r4est of the stuff I wrote was not really needed anymore but the website wouldn't let me withdraw (delete) the post.

Cheers,
Rudy

No, keep the post Rudy! I wanted to see the video anyway!

Or even add the post to one of your threads. I'd be interested.

Hi R2, I'll post the little video clip as a separate thread in a couple of minutes.
