Re: Using EOS R5 Joystick for AF

A little off topic but since getting my R5 I've have no need for it anymore and neve. If eye focus won't focus in a subject I use the BBF to activate one of the non eye AF modes, physically move the camera so the AF point/s lands on the subject and release it. The eye snaps in.

It much faster for how I shoot. I even use that method if there are two or more subjects in the frame and it does not focus on the eye I want. I'd need to use the joystick is if I had the camera on a tripod but it's been a long time since I've done that.

Just thought I'd mention it.
