I photograph marine mammals (seals, porpoises, etc.) from land. I can get a photo or a few in focus, but between photos my R7 immediately goes blurry and starts searching. How do I get it to just stay focused on that general area where the mammal will likely surface again? This was no problem with my old DSLR. Thank you.&nbsp;</P> Sun, 25 Dec 2022 18:52:13 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/EOS-R7-Autofocus-Help/m-p/399264#M94884 SaveWhales 2022-12-25T18:52:13Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/EOS-R7-Autofocus-Help/m-p/399275#M94889 <P>What lens are you using when this occurs? &nbsp;Check the Focus Limiter Switch, if the lens has one.</P><P>The MILC bodies tend to continuously autofocus, even when the metering is idle. &nbsp;There is a menu option, probably somewhere in the AF menus, that controls “Continuous AF” when the metering is idle. &nbsp;Another one should control “Continuous AF” when focus is lost. &nbsp;These settings are enabled by default.</P> Sun, 25 Dec 2022 21:49:53 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/EOS-R7-Autofocus-Help/m-p/399275#M94889 Waddizzle 2022-12-25T21:49:53Z
