I'm using an R3 and was looking for a way to move the centre AF point function (when you press the multi-direction toggle button on the back and it moves the focus array to the centre of the screen) so that it centres higher on the screen and not just in the exact centre of the screen. I came across the instructions called Registering AF Points (Home Position) (scroll halfway down this page) https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/s/article/ART182096#AF-Drive_0060_13 and followed them. Unfortunately the instructions are next to useless and haven't been updated since I tried setting them on my MkIV years ago. The issues I have are as follows:
- It tells you how to register a point but not how to jump back to that point later on
- It says the camera will chime when you set it but mine doesn't. Confusingly the register box appears directly under the current array cursor so you don't think it registered until you move your cursor
- The reference box is a grey flashing square that remains wherever you register it and becomes an annoying flashing distraction
Somehow you are supposed to be able to set it for portrait and landscape but I had no luck with portrait
- I can't find any way to remove it so its there on the screen permanently
Has anyone every got this to function as it should?
How do I delete it?
