R5II, 1.3.0 and pre-shooting?

I did the same. And the Pre-Shooting works also as DOF button if you halfpress the shutter button. 😉
Attention: if the Pre-Shooting is enabled focus bracketing is disabled!

I haven't changed my previous practice. I use back button focus with AF-ON for full screen with full tracking, and * for centre point focus, with metering. A half press of the shutter is set to pre-continuous shooting and a full press for actuation of shutter. That way, I don't need an extra button and there no shifting of my finger from one button to another to switch between pre- and normal shooting. BBF used to be "mandatory" for DSLRs but is going out of fashion with mirrorless with its AI AF. However, when there are tricky focus problems like a dragonfly in flight against a background, you have more control using two button back focusing.
