You can set up auto focus so many ways with the R3, everyone will have something that works best for them.

I have the AF-On smart control button setup for single point the * for animal eye AF and one of the buttons next to the lens mount for subject recognition. I have tried the eye control a couple times it doesn’t work great for me, I probably need to do more calibrations and keep trying.

I watched a bunch of YouTube videos to see how others have set it up and have gone from there to see what works best for me. Even with using the R5 the past couple years it’s taken some time to learn and get used to the R3 autofocus.
