RF 50mm F1.8 STM No AF on EOS R7, Okay on EOS R6

[karlaschmidt]

I have a Canon EOS r7 and the Canon EOS r6.  I bought the Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM lens.  When I attach this lens to the Canon EOS r7 the AF changes to manual and I don't have an option of choosing between one-shot or servo.  When I attach this lens to my R6, I can choose either one-shot or servo.  Can anyone explain why this is happening?

Check the AF/MF switch on the camera body is set to AF. The lens doesn't have an AF/ MF switch on it that's why it focuses on the R6. To turn off Manual Focus on the R6 you must go through the camera menu. The body AF/MF switch only works for lenses without the AF/MF switch.

I do have the same problem.

 On my R7, only MF i present - did you find a solution?  

Working on RP and on a R7 my freind have.

The EOS R7 has a switch on the camera body itself. That says AF/ MF on it. It is located to the right of the hand grip. When looking from the front of the camera.

Thank you very much. canon support wanted me to send the camera and lens in for service…
You solved the problem, Thank you.

If a lens has an AF/MF switch on it. The switch on the lens overrides the switch on the body. That switch only works for lenses without an AF/ MF switch on it.
