There is a post in the "rumors" section that when you use back button AF on the R to focus and recompose, the camera will try to refocus after you recompose! Can any R owners comment on this?
I would think that as long as you are in one shot AF mode as opposed to servo, once you lock focus that focus point would hold unless you refocus. I cannot imagine it would refocus on whatever it chooses if you recompose.
I have an M5, and it works just like a DSLR, ie. you can focus and recompose without your selected focus point being over ridden.
Also, is the IS always on when the camera is on, or does it only work when you half push the shutter like on a DSLR? I would hope its not always on....I suspect that would obviously be bad for battery life and also be hard on the AI system in the lens with time.
Thanks for any info, as I am likely going to go ahead and get an R and just want to make sure this is not an issue, since I focus and recompose all the time!
