I recently purchased the R6 Mark II camera and, so far, I'm quite satisfied with it after using the 6D Mark II for seven years, which was equally wonderful. However, there's one feature I miss from my previous camera that bothers me a bit. On the 6D Mark II, when I switched to manual focus and wanted to photograph a specific section within the frame, I could select my preferred focus point style. Then, during a half-press of the shutter button, if the focus locked, I would receive a beep, confirming I was in focus.
I’ve come to realize that this focus point confirmation is not common across Canon cameras, and it surprised me to learn this only recently.
With the R6 Mark II, despite the features I'm aware of—like Focus Mode and others—I can't seem to find an option during manual shooting to choose, for example, a 1-Point AF in a specific area, as I did with the 6D Mark II, especially when shooting in full manual mode. Am I missing something in the settings? Was this feature truly unique to the 6D Mark II?
It's important to note that I'm using an EF to RF adapter, which could potentially be the issue, though I find that hard to believe.
The lenses I use are the 17-40mm, 70-200mm, and 100mm.
I’d appreciate any insights.
