I’ve been experiencing a very strange and frustrating AF lock issue on the Canon EOS R6 Mark II. This specific behavior is causing me to miss critical shutter moments during my shoots.
Summary of the Problem:
Settings: I have "Servo AF" assigned to the AF-ON button through the customization menu.
The Issue: After shooting a burst using the AF-ON button, the AF stays locked as if the shutter button is still being held halfway down, even after I completely release all buttons.
The Frustration: While this is happening, the multi-controller (joystick) becomes completely unresponsive, making it impossible to move the AF point to follow the action.
The Anomaly: Unlike the normal behavior of the touch shutter, the AF point stays green and refuses to return to its idle state (white) even after the subject is gone.
Note: The issue disappears immediately if I press the shutter button halfway, but in a live performance shooting environment, that tiny fraction of a second is enough to miss a decisive moment.
I'm sharing this video in hopes that it reaches Canon for a much-needed firmware fix. Has anyone else encountered this "sticky" AF behavior?
