Triple Back Button Focus Setup on Canon EOS R5 Mark II Issue

[DLDietz]

I have three buttons set up for back button focusing that I initially set up when I first got my R5 mark II last year when it first came out.  What I want to do now is switch the configuration settings for the AF-ON and AF-Point Button.

My problem is that only TWO of my configurations will show the Info-Detail Set option and I really need it for all three to configure the back button settings.

What am I doing wrong that only the AF-ON and AF-LOCK buttons will show the Inf-Detail Set option while the AF-Point Button won't?

Thank you in advance

You’re probably not doing anything wrong.

Not every control button or function has an option to press [Info] for additional functions.

What you are seeing is normal, the INFO only shows for the AF-ON and AE-lock buttons. When you also use the AF point button for AF and metering start the extra layer of settings normally accessible by the INFO button are not available. 

In short this means that the triple setup you want can only override AF settings with the AF-ON and AE-lock button, the AF point button simply actuates AF and metering using the cameras current settings when the button is pressed. Knowing this you can set the camera AF settings that you want for the AF point button in the normal way from the AF menus, but ensure that the AF-ON and AE-Lock buttons use their INFO settings to override the cameras AF settings.
