Re: Canon R6 Mark II - Continuous Focus for Selfies with Timer

Hi,

I have a Canon R6 Mark II. The flip-screen is great and should allow me to take selfies with the 2 seconds timer using a Joby Gorillapod. One of the challenges though, is that once I press the shoot button, almost always I then have to recompose the frame, messing up with the focus. Is there a way to set the focus to continuously track the eye during the 2 seconds timer?

I usually do selfies with aperture f1.8, and the slightest changes in focus ruins the photo.

Thanks,
Fabio

Have you tried CameraConnect and trigger the shutter via your smartphone? That way you don't have to use a 2 second timer.
