How to manual focus with R6 mark II & RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM

upsidetriangle
Apprentice

So i pick up a Canon RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM to go with my R6 mark II for fireworks display.

When i had a DSLR i would put the lens in MF and manualy focus on the display line. But there is no MF switch on RF lens.

How do i get the R6 mark II in to a proper manualy focus mode i what to set the focus before the fireworks and for it not to change at all. I will have the camera in bulb mode with somthing like F8 ISO 100.

Im sure i just missing a setting somewhere but what is it.

Thanks

Manual Focus is enabled through the camera menu with lenses that lack AF/MF switches and the switch for IS. That is also controlled from the camera menu.
