Canon EOS RP RF 24-105MM Lens Infinity Focus

Hello,

I have the Canon EOS RP body with an RF 24-105MM Lens. I'm wondering, does this lens have an infinity focus feature? I thought I saw some videos regarding a "distance meter" but I believe this is only on the Canon EOS R. I have the Canon EOS RP.

Please let me know how to set to infinity mode. I'm headed to Scandinavia soon to shoot the Northern Lights so this focusing mode is super important.

Thanks!

Well, "infinity" does not show up in the index or a word search in the advanced manual.

On the EOS RP, the Focus distance display can be shown in the viewfinder or on the LCD when using RF lenses. (See pages 591-594 of the manual.) Page 391 provides instructions on how to activate and set the focus distance display. Here is a shortcut to the manual. LINK
