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...
I'm using iOS 26 with Canon's Camera Connect app with a Canon EOS R5 Mark 2 with the latest firmware. Today I did my usual thing. I start Camera Connect, take my camera out of Airplane mode, and then started walking and photographing. Sometimes th...

On the R1 (I haven't tested the F5 Mk II but I predict it is the same): Program a button to AF-OFF. Now, what is easiest for me is to half press the shutter button which focuses the lens or if you have a back button focus, you can press it. This wi...
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...
My current belief is that the Settings => Privacy & Security => Location Services => Camera Connect needs to be set to "Always". I have two reasons for this.
I used the open source Open GPX Tracker today and had it set to "While Using the App" and i...
