Not sure if post like these are allowed here but I'm having trouble setting up and customizing the buttons on my R6 to make the AF work the way I want, and hope you guys could help.
I primarily shoot events and use two R6's for my work. On my camera I almost always have my AF method set to Face/Eye Tracking and set to servo. This works great for 95%+ of cases since I usually shoot people, but there are times where I need to take shots of the environment or of objects. Face/Eye Tracking still works decently enough for this purpose since it automatically detects and focuses on the closest object when people are absent. However, when there are also people in the frame, the AF starts tracking them instead of the object or scenery I want to take the shot of. To work around this issue, I've always manually set my AF to one shot, single point AF.
Events are usually pretty fast-paced, so I realized that I can no longer afford to risk missing shots by changing these settings every time by hand. I'm well aware that I can customize buttons on my camera to my liking, and I set my AF-ON button so that when I hold it down, my AF mode automatically switches to single point AF. This however came with another issue: since my AF is still set to servo, I can no longer use the focus and recompose technique for detail shots. I've went through the manual and it seems like there's no way to bind a custom button to change both the AF method and operation, only one of the two.
I've experimented with using back-button focus, but I found it too finicky for my liking dealing with 3 different buttons to get the shot I want. Is there any way to bind a custom button to change both settings at once? Perhaps I may be missing something.
