Canon RP Canon EOS RP -How to Switch Auto-Focus Faces and Eyes

[Tongho58]

Hello everyone,
Not sure if this is appropriate to post herein - Please delete if not.

Recently I've made a youtube video to show how to switch between faces and eyes on the RP. I had been using the RP for two years but just found out about this feature recently so I thought I would make it known to others, just in case. This might be applicable to other Canon mirrorless as well.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Thank you and yes, It's universal across the R line.

That looks like a great function. I couldn’t get to work the same way though on my R5.

Hi Kathryn,
I looked at the R5 manual (page 401) and it appears to be the same...make sure you're in Face Tracking Mode with Eye Tracking Enabled.

Are you in Oneshot or Servo AF? Pretty sure you will need to be in OneShot

You can be in either Oneshot or Servo, eye-tracking and this feature will still work
