With the 100mm macro and 180mm macro on my R5, I find the best approach is to set the lens to AF, and the camera in SERVO, but to pre-focus (approximately) with the manual focus ring, and then half-press the shutter release and let the AF do the final adjustment.The image quality on the 180mm is superb, but it is a heavy lens and the autofocus is useless (always flip to manual).
It’s a lot more reliable than using AF alone, and much faster than using MF alone, especially with a subject that is in forward-backward motion, such as a butterfly resting on a flower that’s swaying slightly in the breeze.
