    Hello all, I have a question regarding SERVO Auto Focus on the Canon R8.

    Is it possible to configure the auto focus on the R8 so that when in AI SERVO mode and the shutter button is released, the AF point remains where it was at the point of release?

    For clarity - if I focus on a subject with AI SERVO and the blue box attaches to the subject, which then moves across the screen (followed by the blue box), is it possible to then release the shutter/BBF and have the blue box remain where it was at the time of release (not snapping back to the centre/predefined location)?

    Thanks in advance!
