Focus Beep confirmation

[Noli]

Why is is it that I do not get a confirmation focus beep nor the focus box turning green while using a back button focus? I am not on Servo and it works if I revert back to the normal shutter button focus?  It also works if I use the touch screen to focus?

FWIW, I have removed focus an exposure from the shutter button, and BBF assigned to the AF-ON button, an autofocus lock assigned to AE-Lock button.  I have the three C-(1-3) settings.  C1 is configured to track animal eyes, with servo and high-speed continuous, C2 is the same but for humans, and C3 is set to track with no priority.  The default settings for Av etc. are single shot.  I tend to use single point focus and exposure.

I didn't really think about beeping for focus and I get the green box.  When I actually checked the beep was off, but was restored when I turned it back on again.

Trevor, my firmware is up to date, including the RF 100-500, but it doesn't matter which lens I use with the R5. It's fine on the R6 and chirps as expected with BBF or shutter button.

Thank you everyone for all your suggestions. I reset the camera and while assigning the AF-ON button for my BBF, I remembered setting another AF behavior from within the info button. There were 3 choices— maintain current settings (which will follow the setting in AF menu), one shot and servo. I must’ve chosen servo in this info detail setting, thereby overriding the setting in the AF menu. In essense, the reason why I am not getting a confirmation focus beep and focus box turning into green is that I am essentially shooting in servo mode.

Thanks again!
