The title is a bit misleading as what I am trying to do is stop the R from focusing when I am shooting brackets.
I currently have the * set for AF start. Works great.
But when I put the camera on a tripod and use my CamRanger to shoot a bracket of 5 or 7 images it will re-focus on each frame. The result is that each frame can be slightly misaligned. Annoying but easily fixable.
What IS a problem is that sometimes the exposure is so underexposed the camera cannot focus and will not make an exposure. I have switched from focus priority to release priority but haven't seen the issue crop up yet. I am hoping that fixes it. Failsafe is switching to MF. But the problem then is forgetting to switch it back to AF.
My mk4 has no such problem even though it is set to focus priority.
