    Hi, I just bought a second hand EOS R. When I'm in AV mode, my camera is not focusing when I press lightly the shutter button.... only in A+ and C1, C2, C3 mode... What I'm doing not right?

    Is it possible back button focus is setup? My guess is yes and the custom modes are reflecting a non BBF setup. But this is not a setup I have tried out on my cameras so i can't be sure.

    If you have brought a new to you camera. The first thing that I would be doing is finding the factory reset option, and resetting the camera functions.
