EOS R Focus Point Always Moves on Touch

[mikul]

The focus point on the EOS R moves whenever I touch anywhere on the touch screen when I am not looking through the viewfinder. This results in inadverent touches on the screen changing the focus point. I have Touch and Drag disabled, but it still moves. Movement method is set to relative, but it's moving to wherever I touch (absolute). The active area is top left, yet it moves whenever I touch anywhere on the screen. Focus method is one shot. Hitting the settings lock button still allows the focus point to move. What do I need to get this focus point to stay put?

Old post but it seems this is still not fixed...

I have the same problem. It was driving me nuts that the focus point would "randomly" change position while I'm trying to shoot fast. I finally figured that if my eye wasn't completely against the eyepiece, the LCD would turn on and my nose would move the points.

The ability to shut this off seems like a simple firmware update, but apparently not. Disabling ALL touch control or none seems silly. This is related to my other request to make the change between eyepiece and LCD sensitivity adjustable.

Add my "name" to the list of very frustrated R10 owners (for this particular problem).

Thank you!

 I am also annoyed by the AF point moving, although touch control is disabled In my Canon R .

When will there be an update which fixes it?

Closing the rear display is always an option.

Sure, in case you wish to go back to the 20th century photography 😉
