I am trying to set up my R 5 for the first time.
Im finding the focus point movement confusing. How do I get it to move using the toggle. I do not want to use the drag method.

Welcome to the forum!
There are a couple of ways you can do this: 1) Press the Point Select button, then use the Multi-controller joystick to move the focus point. 2) Go to "Custom Function 3 (C.Fn3)" menu (orange camera) and select "Customize buttons". Then scroll down to the "Multi-controllers", press the "Set" button, then select "Direct AF point selection".
If you go option 2, I think it is Off by default, but I may have turned it off at some point. Once set, you just have to press the Multi-controller, then use it to position your focus point.

Thank you! Just got my R5 last week (plenty of horsepower for me....no need for theR5ll) and I was also trying to set up the toggle for focus points. This was very helpful!
