Setting up AF shortcuts on the Canon EOS R5

By following these steps, you will be able to set AF operation shortcuts to customisable buttons on the Canon EOS R5 (this guide has been written specifically for the Canon EOS R5, however, the operation will be similar to other EOS R cameras). Setting autofocus (AF) operation shortcuts to customisable buttons on the Canon EOS R5 (and other EOS R cameras) is an easy way to improve the handling experience by allowing quick access to frequently used functions. The default (factory) setting for the AF-On button at the rear of the camera is to initiate the AF operation, which is fine if you want to check its working before triggering the shutter (with the shutter button), but it can be made to do more. Sports photographers often want to customise their cameras for so-called 'Back-button AF' operation, and it can even be a useful option for portrait photographers as well, see here for more information. Back Button AF is a great way to have control over AF and manual focusing. Ho
