I am handholding my 7D Mark II and EF500mm for 2 months now, but with 5D4 I would like get back on using tripod when I am out shooting (wildlife, birds etc

) 90% I stay focus on my subject but sometimes there are 2 or more subjects that fits in the frame, If I switch to Live view for perch subjects and by enabling the Dual pixel cmos AF system can I focus in 2 subjects or tap my screen on both to be in focus? Did I understand the dual pixel af correctly?
Jeez, your arms must be tired!
My limited technical understanding of the dual pixel business is that it suposedly allows for tweaking the focus in post, in case you were just a hair off. From what I've read, that allowed adjustment is so miniscule that it really isn't very useful, especially considering how much larger the raw files become when that option is selected.
