Just bought Canon R3, first mirror-less, moving from 5Dmk4

Hi

May be this is answered already..  Carefully went thru all menus  and setup my R3 (with RF 24-70 f2.8 lens)..  Setup the back-button focus to lock the focus, as I did in 5dmk2/3/4 (removing the shutter from focus), when I lock the focus and take the fingers off of AE buttom, and recompose, when I play back the pic, the focus point shown is different..

Set it up for single point AF and the AF point display is enabled in the menu..

I am expecting that when I lock the focus thru BBF, release it and recompose and take the pic, the playback shows a different focus point which I can see when I recompose (the focus square moving)

Am I missing something, I am sure since R3 has a lot controls w/ respect to customizing the 3 focus buttons on the back..

I want to configure them  for

1) Still photography, One Shot and not AI-SERVO  Just lock the focus, recompose and take the photo..

2) Moving subjects.  AI-Servo (or servo, the name changed in R3)..  There are more options here..

Thanks

Ram
