“I have an EOS R8, and want to know if it is normal for the single AF point to keep moving around the frame when I recompose my photos?”

BRIAN SAYS… The EOS R8 AF works differently from a DSLR or even the EOS R5. When in one shot AF, the green AF point stays where you locate it. The default behaviour with Servo AF is that the blue single point is used to locate the primary subject and then the AF point moves to track that subject as you recompose. If you’re using AI focus then you might see both behaviours if the camera determines that the subject is moving or not, even if you simply recompose.
You cancameras used to. From the first AF menu, check the setting for whole subject area tracking Servo AF, this is on by default but selecting off will keep the single AF point in your chosen position.
