EOS R7 continuous MF availability varies across firmware versions

Hello,

I recently repeated some tests to examine the interaction between the lens switches on the no-ring RF-S & single-ring RF consumer lenses & the MF/AF switch on the R7. I noticed in the process that whereas continuous MF was available with the RF nifty-fifty when I tested with FW1.4.0, when I re-tested today with camera FW1.6.1 I noted it was not. I found the same for the RF800/11, but it still works with the RF16/2.8.

Best Regard,
