Mar 05, 2025By Charlotte Reeves
Struggling to nail focus on fast-moving dogs? And what do you do if the animal eye detection and tracking isn't working for you?
Let’s fix that! In this video, Charlotte Reeves from Unleashed Education walks you through a detailed autofocus setup for the Canon R5 Mark II, fine-tuned specifically for pet photographers.
You’ll learn how to set up double back button focus so you can instantly switch between using animal eye detection and single point focus. Charlotte also shares her go-to settings for image quality, display preferences, and quick access controls, so you can get the most out of your camera – with less frustration and more keepers.
These settings also apply to the Canon R6 Mark II, R1, and R3, so if you’re shooting on one of those, you’re in the right place. Let’s get your autofocus working for you, not against you!
