Congratulations on your new camera! You are really going to enjoy it. Looking forward to seeing some of your photos.

So I got my RP yesterday and messed around with it last night for a little while. I don't have any photos to share that are worth looking at, yet, but I do want to talk about the eye focus.

Any reviewer I heard or read says the eye focus works really well. I can't decide if I agree for two reasons. (1) I've never used another camera that has it, and (2) I'm coming from crop sensor cameras, so the apparent depth of field is a LOT shallower than I'm used to.

Testing the 50/1.8 and the 100/2 ... the eye focus seemed to locking just a bit in front of the actual eye, like the cheek. If it wasn't a mirrorless camera, I'd say it was front focusing just a bit, but obviously that's not it. I was inside and it was not bright, so perhaps it'll do better in bright light. It didn't miss enough that it would matter, meaning I generally don't crop too much and then resize to 1600 pixels on the long side, which eliminates a lot of pixel peeping exact focus point problems.

Is everyone else satisfied with the eye focus (single shot AF)? Does it lock on perfectly for you?

Coming from a 5dc the focus on this thing is amazing! To even have eye auto focus makes it so much easier! But having shot with a Sony and using their eye autofocus before canons is lacking.

Can you find anything in the RP Manual about Eye Focus? For some reason I am only finding information about Face Focus in the RP Manual. What page is it on?

It's mentioned on page 77 as a tip. Doesn't give any detail. I haven't gone thru the manual, what's the fun in that :P

edit to add: page 198

My page 77 is "Set the level of background motion blur." (Not a tip about eye focus)

My page 198 is just about the battery. (Nothing about eye focus)

This is very strange. I still don't find anything about eye focus in my RP Instruction Manual.

Page 77:

Advanced User Guide

I'm really impressed by how well the focus grabs what I want it to. I'm not sure if my 80D with same lens setup could have locked on to this little guy here with those branches in the way.

Do any of you RP owners also own the EOS R?
