What a relief to watch your videos, Roberto, including this 2nd one covering the Canon EOS R5/R6 features, showing real world use of camera settings, instead of the normal boring videos showing a brick wall or focusing charts. Outstanding explanation of various menu settings and what they actually do for you while photographing, as well as why you might want any given feature enabled or disabled. Very nice to see someone that has not only perfected their craft but is willing to share his experience with his You Tube audience. Immediately subscribed and can't wait to see your other videos.

Thank you so much Mike!

This is great! I've been watch a number of KZread videos about the R6 - most of them rush through it too fast. Your pace was great and had lots of detail. Thank you.

Thank you! After days of trying to work out the focus settings you've just totally blown my mind with the awsome detail you've supplied.

Hi Roberto, it is so great to find you on KZread. Back in the late 2000's you spoke at a NCPP meeting in Walnut Creek, CA and you were great. We all really enjoyed and learned from you. NCPP is now defunct but we gained so much while it was active. I am now following you on KZread. You are doing a great job and thank you for your videos. I just received my R5 a few days ago so learning all I can. I shoot mostly landscape, birds, Indy cars and Air shows. Cannot wait to get out and use it.

What an upgrade...my first camera was an M50 and then the 80D. Then I bought the EOS R...but it wasn't good with fast subjects...it's a great portrait camera...but the R5 is my jack of all trades!!

You asked for a reason not to use the Touch & Drag AF setting: Here's one. My left eye is my prime eye and that's the one I always bring up to the viewfinder. I didn't even realize it was my normal behavior until I tried to set up touch and drag with the right zone. My nose kept changing the autofocus point! I've tried training myself to use my left eye in the viewfinder, but it just seems awkward.

This info is incredible and so easy to understand! Thank you so much!

I'm going to rent this camera next weekend and I just wanted to thank you for this tutorial. It's awesome and I appreciate that you took time out of your day to do this.

I'm a sports shooter here and just want to thank you for your effort & instructive video the R5 AF. I use my 1Dx mk ii and a 1Dx for sports photography but as you can imagine with the pandemic... I'm not shooting sports. So when I picked up the R5 for use with more corporate and event work... I was "doubly" blown away with new button layout ( to be expected) as well as new features. YOUR very helpful breakdown of the Auto Focus system within the R5 is ideal for quickly coming up to speed on my new camera. A very kind THANK YOU, sir. Stay safe & wear a mask.

possibly the best video regarding all this! Thank you.

As a Nikon shooter with 45 years of experience (currently using a D810) who has never picked up a Canon camera of any type, I am making the switch and have an R5 on order. Setting up a camera is an arduous task to begin with ~ and switching to a completely new system exacerbates the process. I feel this tutorial can be a definitive reference for me when mine finally arrives. I've watched this section three times now and I feel I have a better understanding of the R5 without even having it in my hands. Thank you for taking the time to detail the AF in depth.

Hi Roberto, great video, planning on picking one up shortly. How do I get everyone in a group shot in focus? Is there a setting that allows the camera to automatically focus on multiple people at the same time or allow manual selection of all the faces that need focusing before taking the pic?

Hi Roberto! Excellent job on this video. It clarified a LOT for me, as I was setting up my new R6. I did find one mistake in your explanations however, which is at 30:40. (The Initial Servo AF point menu item). Those options actually tell the camera to either start looking for faces at a previously selected AF point from the last time the camera was in Eye AF mode, or start looking for faces at previously selected AF point from the last time the camera was in a NON-eye AF mode. AUTO will start fresh by looking for a face anywhere in the frame. This appears to be opposite of what you stated, as the AUTO mode here is actually likely the PREFERRED option. Hope that helps.!

Thank you! I’ll look j to that and ask Canon exactly what that is. Much appreciate the heads up.

Incredible tutorial, thank you!

So informative and well explained. I've been fighting with the autofocus since I got my R6, now I can actually navigate it to get the full potential. Thanks!

Such a great and informative video thank you! Shooting birds and wildlife using the auto initial servo initial AF point works very well for finding a bird and its eye anywhere in the frame sometimes even before I see it. Often I want it to grab the bird and compose the shot without having to center the bird in the frame and that auto setting works really well. It's like wide eye AF. I just now realized with that middle setting "AF point set" you can move the starting point around with the multi selector while you're looking through the view finder and then start tracking from there instead of the center. I like that also!

Great video and explanations, much appreciated (from a new R5 owner). I have a question, what method do you use to switch between Tracking and Spot AF?

Best Video Ever!

Great tutorial! How can you switch from one person eye to the other eye while it's tracking? Or how can you switch to another person's face if two people are in from and it locks on the wrong face?

Hi Roberto, what a great videoserie, thank you. only haven one question. How do you get those arrows when you want to focus on another eye when you are in eyefocus mode?

Great Content. Thanks

Great tutorial.

Buenas Roberto , gracias por el video! una duda que me tiene loco si dejo uno de mis back button focus en mi R6 en AF puntual y dejo el otro para detección de ojo. la detección de ojo hará tracking??? es muy importante porque veo que en muchísimas ocasiones, casi siempre con animales, necesito obligar a la cámara a fijar el foco en el ojo mediante, AF puntual, peeeero luego quiero que lo siga un saludo

Great Video. Really useful. Thumbs up

I watched this video just once and it gave me so much control over my R6. Very clear and informative. Definitely worth watching from start to end. Question: do you know if it's possible to switch from auto-focus to manual focus while shooting? I was hoping to lock focus near the end of a long pan shot. Basically I want the camera to stop following the subject. Thanks for your response.

Hi Roberto, I understand the method of switching eye af to right or left eye. However with a model continually moving her head, will it normally focus on the closest eye? If not then its of little use to me and I need to cancel my preorder

Quick question for you sir - What's the difference between (under custom buttons) setting your AF-ON button to "Eye Detection AF" vs. setting it to "Metering & AF Start", with the AF Method set to Face+Tracking under the "Info" button? It feels like both perform the same function. Thanks!!!

It’s was amazing. Thank you for your helping ☺️

Such a helpful video!! Explained thoroughly so I understand so much better now. I was feeling down after trying to shoot my first wedding with R6. It seems I’m not quite ready for face detection because I felt when trying to get my single point autofocus to one subject it would jump to another part of screen! Maybe I’m not doing something right but when I disable it I at least feel I have control again?

Thank you so much !! Learning so much from your videos!!
