I have iOS devices -- be that good or bad. When I download a manual from Canon's USA support site, it has a lock on it. I think that causes "Books" (the place where iOS stores PDFs) and I guess also Preview (the PDF viewer on iOS and macOS) to not ...
In the R1 Advanced Users Guide PDF for version 1.2.0 of the firmware, this is on page 157. It is also at this link if you scroll down a little.
Can someone point me to the page in the PDF or a web page that tells me what "AF-ON 3 thru AF-ON 7" is?

I've posted this before. The 800mm f/11 will not manual focus no matter how "Lens electronic MF" is set. I'm trying (and rather failing) to do bird photography with this lens and it just isn't working. The birds are up in trees with branches in be...

Ahh!!! I figured it out. "Customized controls when shooting" (green menu 1) => Customize buttons for shooting (top menu item) => AF-ON button. It has 7 slots or settings that you can quickly switch between each has various limitations.
Setting Settings => Privacy & Security => Location Services => Camera Connect to Always helps. You might try that. I am trying different apps. One person just get a GPS logger and hang it from your camera strap. I'm considering that too. The oth...
