Good day I have the r5 and the r6 has my introduction to the mirrorless system I notice when I take a group photo with like 40 people not everyone come out in focus. with the mark1v I never use to have this issue. doe anyone have a suggestion.

Too many rows of people and probably nearly wide-open aperture.

One solution could have been to divide the group into thirds or quarters and shoot smaller groups.

I would also suggest that you get a DOF, Depth of Field, app.  

For larger groups such as this, you don’t always want the people in straight lines.  Try to bring the people at the edges closer to the camera.  You want the people to all be close to the same distance from the camera.

Imagine this image is looking down at you and the people.
