R5 C - SF Mode Focus problems

JFoss

Is anyone really good at the focus settings for SF mode @120 . Would love to discuss how I can get better focus??  I was shooting 4k, xfavc, BT.709 Wide DR (CP1) but they just not a crisp as my friends Sonys.  I also read in manual that while in SF mode

"

• Autofocus may not work well on the following subjects or in the following cases. In such case, focus manually.
- When the gamma curve component of the [Gamma/Color Space] setting in the custom picture file is set to an option other than [BT.709 Normal] or [BT.709 Standard]”.

Anyone know why S&f modes would be limited to those profiles?

I would really be interested in Firmware update similar to C70 that enables: Enables Eye / Face detection and tracking when S&F shooting frame rate is set from 24 to 120 frames per second.
